I switched from ATT and got a 5 with Sprint a week and a half ago. Chicago area. I'm thinking of bailing before the two week grace period is up.
When I get LTE at work in the city, it's pretty okay. Averages between 10-15mbps down, sometimes as high as 20. At home in the close suburbs, LTE is occasionally around 5 but averages about 2 (about the speed I got on ATT 3G). Still, considering it has unlimited data and I'll be on wifi at home anyway, I'm willing to live with that.
The dealbreaker? At home, about 50% of the time I lose LTE and get kicked onto 3G. It still makes calls/texts, but data is
unusable. This is a completely average speed test while on 3G at home:

Even if I'll be on wifi at home, why in the hell would I sign a two year contract knowing that whenever I lose LTE and wind up on 3G the phone has a good chance of being unusable data-wise?
