Considering that Sprint has the most limited PCS network of them all, this is likely not all it's cracked up to be. It will be interesting to see what shakes out. |

Caldwell, NJ | Comcast used to be in the cell phone business
Comcast had cell phones under the Cellular One brand before and sold the business to SBC which of course, became Cingular. |

Re: Comcast Wireless?
Actually I have a Sprint phone and I love it. Their plans are great and my service is just as good as any other wireless carrier I've used for all the places I go. I really like the cost of the Vision plan and the unlimited text as well. It's all priced very reasonably for both my husband and myself.
And guess what?  I like Comcast well enough too! Heh. |

Sprint at 12,000 feet
I do not know where you get your info from. Sprint has a very diverse wireless network. I have never been in a place in the U.S. where I was unable to use my Sprint PCS phone.
I was up at Mammoth mountain hiking at 12,000 ft. Worked fine. |

| What?
Correct me if I'm wrong.. but aren't Sprint and Comcast like arch rivals? Having my DSL and Cable provider team up would be sort of weird.

Different divisions of sprint, that is sprint local (for dsl).
Sprint Actually has one of the largest networks avaliable, all on 1 single frequency (1900mhz) all using cdma. Unlike other providers which were made from aquiring many smaller providers. |

Re: Comcast Wireless?

I won't touch Sprint, had them and had to walk down the street to use my damn phone. Dropped calls more than Bill Buckner is known for dropping world series balls.

Oh how some are so misinformed....
Just analyze who are Sprints competitors - then look at who owns them - then you can see who is truly vying for a contract with the cable companies |

Re: Comcast Wireless?
I don't get why so many people feel insulted that those who subscribe to a better cable package get a better price on internet. Isn't a company entitled to set it's pricing as it sees fit?  |

Re: What?
Actually Sprint is spinning off their landline business. So, it wouldn't actually be that your DSL and Cable provider are teaming up. |

Time Warner Cable already is teamed up with Sprint for Digital Phone service connection to the traditional POTS network, as well as many other regional cable companies. |
