I Had Sprint Broadband Direct

I had it for about 6 years and it was very reliable. I understand other people had a hell of a time with it but I did not. I had to go to cable after someone built a building that killed the signal. Compared to Comcast Sprint was slowing but felt "snappier" as requests for websites was considerably faster.

Would I go back? No. Was it a good solution for me at the time? Yes, it replaced AT&T dialup.

I too have Sprint Broadband direct (at least till the end of JUly) The reliability has been damn near 100% for close to seven years. (cant recall an outage that lasted more than a few minutes, normally do to heavy snow between me and the tower)

Sprint's recommendation to employ EVDO as a comparable service though is a laugh, at the same price point they are gouging you for an "Additional data usage is $.001/KB (Maximum monthly charge $99.99 on the 40MB plan)" or an extra $20 per month for unlimited.

Nice way to reward loyalty

Me too. I have my service since 2000 till now. 100% up in last 7+ years. I have the same dynamic ip for 7+ years. Of cuz they locked down the upload speed to 128k, but my download speed seems unlimited. The 13-14mb was the highest download speed I got when I was downloading the exchange server service pack from microsoft year ago. My average download speed is 5-6mb, but it is very depended on the upload speed from the other side.

I won't consider their EVDO offer. I will consider ATT DSL Pro 3mb/512k. It cannot be compared to Sprint direct, but it is the fastest speed that I can find in my area. For some reason I don't like comcast.
