Lately do you feel that Verizon is worse than AT&T?

I've always considered a network where I can't talk and use data simultaneously inferior.

Not really. They're all bad IMO. at&t is certainly no angel.

Wow, I know Sprint is bad, but worse than Cricket. Can't believe Sprint is surviving.

They can't. VZW bought it years ago and they're already updating their antennas nationwide to the newest RRUs to deploy on AWS. AT&T had an almost nationwide slice, but they had to give it to TMobile. They have since acquired a bunch of AWS from various acquisitions.


(and just to keep it civil, I use AT&T. Have been for almost 14 years. I have a VZW Mifi from work. I'm just calling out Valerie's constant BS)

How is AWS already saturated? It's not even up yet.

Even if you are talking about 700, there are plenty of stupid fast speeds being reported all over the web and by reputable 3rd party sources, like rootmetrics.



Complete BS. Proof?

Let's look at some stats from Philadelphia from July 2013.

Sprint is, by far, the worst in Phily. T-Mobile's upload speeds are the same as your downlink. Since you claim to bench faster speeds than VZW, I'll love to see some tests over 3G and LTE showing an average of 12.5 down. This is what VZW is averaging in your market.

Where are these "better speeds" you claim?

Now now, we all know Sprint nationwide has terrible speeds, but in small pockets of NV there are some considerable differences. Has this taken too long? Yes. Has everyone else including some smaller prepaids surpassed them in terms of network speed? Yes. But those small pockets ,probably where Valerie is located are excellent and much more reliable.

It should have happened a year or two ago, but Sprint is making progress, just at a snails pace, and there marketing department and there network engineers obviously dont talk because theyve been advertising LTE here for 6 months even though there isnt a single LTE tower up and no date.


But that said some of the 3g upgrades have taken place and EVDO at my house is smokin fast now 2.8mbps 2.2, 2.1, ect. So if they ever get some traction they could have a bright future.

In DC, where Sprint supposedly has LTE

Yeah, even Cricket beats Sprint in network reliability.

Sprint is the thrift store of cell providers. Once in a while you "might" find good speeds, but most of the time it's just garbage.

I got very feed up with Verizon so I left and went to straight talk. I don't get 4g but didn't get it at my house anyways and now I save a lot of money each month since we moved two smartphones over.
