So essentially Sprint will soon have almost the same coverage as Verizon I believe around a 3% difference which you really won't notice.
I don't know where you got that little nugget, but that's one of the best jokes I've heard in a while. Sprint will "soon" have almost the same coverage as Verizon? Did a Sprint rep tell you that? Did they also tell you that Sprint will "soon" have LTE deployed across their entire network? Soon in Sprint's world could mean a month from now or sometime in the next decade.
