Sprint is a complete joke with their 1G service lol. Yeah, unlimited data with their current data speed is silly, unless your one in a few million.
Four tower climbers working on Sprint cell towers died during 2013. The following article notes that Sprint is in a hurry and that 2013 was the busiest year in the cell tower climbing industry.
One guy (Sprint) fell off a water tower that had a Sprint cell site on the top of it. Be interesting to compare the accident rate before NV to now. The hard part is that some people are dying for a Sprint network that's still unusable in a lot of places!

So is the 5c and 5s the same bands as the gs4? I found a 5s for cheap and I'm considering buying it.
guessing it's something you don't wanna answer? I want to get a 5s but not if the data issue isn't fixed, my s4 works much better.
If you are referring to me I didn't respond to that question of yours because I don't know. I'm sure a Google search comparing the two would give you the info you're looking for though.guessing it's something you don't wanna answer?

The s4 has band 41, which is necessary for sprint spark. The iphone 5s/5c does not.

I keep Boost Mobile (Sprint subsidiary) because it works really well in the country rural areas I visit outside of San Antonio.
Though for the $30 I pay, it's worth it for me.
Do you have any experience with Boost/Sprint inside San Antonio? I posted my results a few pages back, but I'm curious to see how your experience has been. Also, what rural towns are you referring to?
I used 7gb this month of data (enjoy your caps from other carriers)
PS: when will this stupid topic die?
I used to witness speeds like that myself. It's just atrocious really. Switched to AT&T for the iPhone 5 and have been a happy camper ever since. Even with just HSPA+ I still pull around 5 mbps down.
You have to understand the culture at Sprint. It's a promise everything, CYA, lie through your teeth type culture.so today i chatted with sprint about my slow data at work.
Customer: my phone says 3G all the time
Customer: where i work
Christian C: Does that give you any error or error code?
Customer: the data is very slow
Customer: unusable
Christian C: But it does work, right?
Customer: unusable means does not work
is this guy serious? who the hell does sprint hire there.
No. I've never been employed by Sprint. But, I am a 15 year customer. I've had my own share of customer service fails (I was on hold once for over three hours) and I've been on numerous Sprint forums and read other people's accounts over the years. You can also get an idea of what's going on when you look through the Sprint news on Google.You have to understand the culture at Sprint.

How do you know all this? Previous employee?
As I mentioned before, I've been with Sprint for 10+ years and recently switched to Verizon. The service is tremendous with Verizon, LTE everywhere.
I had 4 lines with Sprint, 3 still under contract ala ETF. I was able to get sprint to waive these fees with no hassle...
Anyone using Spotify for free for the 6 months?
I just added to my account and its amazing. I am ditching itunes

There are also a fair amount of ex-employee Sprint blogs where you can read the details of how things went down for those employees.
Lastly, I've had numerous Sprint CSRs over the years, both currently employed or ex-employees confirm my statements over the years. If you think Sprint corporate sucks, you should see how Sprint treats it's third party affiliates. The very people who sell the brand for Sprint and get the shaft when it comes to corporate supporting them! Which is not to say that the third party stores are better. They are often far worse than corporate stores because they have to go much farther to get from Sprint or give to Sprint what a corporate store already has or has to do.
It's all out there if you look for it.
