Sprint LTE vs AT&T LTE

[iPhonemaster5S]

Hello so I am for the first time considering Sprint because Sprint will have LTE in my area soon, only thing is it is 4 months away and my contract ends in 1 month. I currently have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII. Im not sure whether to hop over to Sprint or stay with AT&T. I do travel frequently and I travel to Germany quite often. Would Sprint be able to get me coverage in Germany? Also how is sprint when you get outside of an LTE area? Thanks!

Sprint LTE is very limited and it's 3G network is unbearable. Stick with AT&T.

Also remember that Sprint is a CDMA carrier, not GSM. A lot of high end phones on Verizon are world phones.

These are the speeds I get in LTE (first two entries) and outside of LTE (third entry).

When I travel to areas with poor Sprint service speeds can dip below 1Mbps.

Edit: As for international calling, Sprint will unlock the SIM slot for use internationally, so you can grab a prepaid SIM and pop it in. At least this is what I understand, I haven't tried it yet.
