Sprint iPhone 5s all images blurry?

Normal for me too. The only problem I have is its blurry in the YouTube App, but on the website it's fine.
Fortunately, I haven't either, but knowing how these companies are, I'm surprised that I haven't.
It has been affecting me too in southern WI. Im on the everything 500 plan. I noticed media starting to take longer to load yesterday, noticing the greater compression after seeing this. I would imagine the delay is the images/media going through their recompression algorithm. Hopefully they are just testing how far they can go with it and will pull back on the levels they are using.

Sprint does some insane compression with their network. Any MMS from my friend's Sprint phone comes like trash compared to MMS sent by AT&T or Verizon. T-Mobile does some more compression than AT&T or Verizon, but still not as bad as Sprint.
Just another perk with having Sprint. Not sure why people put up with it considering other carriers are offering similar prices with much, much better service. Beats me

Lol I have no need to Check my data everyday and I switched from sprint to verizon. In fact I use less data now because I don't have to constantly reload a web page or an app because of sprints terrible data network. Good luck trying to use a maps app in my area. The fact they have to compress their images just goes to show they are having network issues
Yea sprint may work well in some places but the majority of their network is crap. Their CS agents lie about everything. I remember being told last July that I would have LTE in my city by July 30th. Guess what it's now March almost a year later and still no LTE for my friends left on sprint.
I know you have had great luck with sprint but the majority of sprint is abysmal and your extremely lucky to have reliable service with them.
If they are employing any kind of compression, it certainly isn't as extreme as what the OP is seeing.
Still affecting me. Called into Sprint and they are blaming it on the 7.1 update. Just to thrill then I took it into the Genius Bar where the phone passed all diags. Funny that their forums show android handsets as effected as well. Thinking it may be time to say hello to T-Mo.
My co-worker (we work in a Sprint corp store) has this issue and he's not even using an iPhone. He has a Moto X which is on an employee account. So even we aren't exempt from this issue. I probably have it on my Sprint device but rarely use it to have ever taken notice to it.
It's sad thats its being done seeing as the only throttling I recall even potentially happening would be with video streaming.
