Re: Sprint LOL Sprint's support doesn't always suck, just often. All I do is call another rep if need be - no biggey. But in every other category, Sprint is light years ahead the other carriers when it comes to data. They should just sell off voice to an MVNO and focus on data. They are superior to all when it comes to data, and we use all of the carriers.
BTW, one huge advantage of Sprint EVDO is that they roam on Alltel EVDO while Verizon does not (only 1xRTT for Verizon users.) Alltel has massive rural EVDO coverage in several midwest and southern states.
I think Sprint is getting it together but the Nextel debacle is not helping. Get most Nextel users over to CDMA and they'll be OK. In the meantime, I wouldn't even give Verizon one single consideration for data with that 5GB/month limit. I use 10GB+ on Sprint with no issues and the Alltel EVDO roaming has been a great advantage for me. |

| As an Alltel customers I love roaming on Sprint EVDO. While I find it not to be any beter than alltel service, I find my roaming options to be better than that of verizon. I would never use sprint for voice but I am all for continueing the evdo roaming agreement between sprint and alltel. As I have downloaded 10gb+ on both alltel's native network evdo and sprint evdo towers. |

| I just bought a Sierra 595 card from Sprint. They don't have any rev A coverage in Roanoke, Plano or Arlington that I have been able to find and they are 1/3 Verizon's speed in Roanoke with 100/40, 1/2 in Plano with 200/60 and a little faster in Arlington with 1Mb/138. I went with Sprint because of Verizon's 5GB limit but I'm not happy with the speed so far. These speeds are the average of 3 tests back to back with 3 tests on Verizon's network with a PC 5220 card on the same laptop. The NIC mode of the Sierra card is great! |
