When all is said and done, Sprint has promised speeds of 3-6mbps on Band 25 (1900mhz) LTE.
That's just that band. Spark handsets utilize Band 25, 26 and 41 (1900mhz, 800mhz and 2.5Ghz) to spread the load. That's why they are a good deal faster. I do not know what the final promise of speed is concerning that.
I do know that Sprint is not currently meeting the promise of 3-6mbps on Band 25 in a market they decided to call launched when it hit 40% of coverage for the population.
If anyone here does the 30 day trial I would suggest to them that they do NOT take that to the extreme. What I mean by that is, do your trial, but don't decide on day 30 that you don't want the phone and then go back to Sprint.
Sprint has a nasty habit of fudging things to their benefit. I've heard of several people who, under the 14 day trial period, turned their phones in on day 14 and found out that the had "exceeded" the trial period because Sprint counted holidays and such else against them.
Don't give Sprint that chance to screw you. If you do the trial, do it, test it and if you don't like it, turn the phone in well in advance of the 30 days. Never give Sprint any ground. It will always bite you in the end.
