| said by ilikeme  :Sprint blows compared to At&t. They might have more 3G coverage than At&t right now, but their coverage in general sucks compared to At&t. My experiences with at&t 3G have been good and I have gotten up to about 1.5 in a moving car. Sprints customer service also sucks compared to any of the other carriers. Then you're one of the few and far between lucky of AT&T customers right now. You didn't say whether you were sporting an iPhone or not, but either way...
I think I just wanted to tell you how heartily I laughed when I read this particular contradiction:
They might have more 3G coverage than At&t right now, but their coverage in general sucks compared to At&t. What? Care to espouse on the topic of how they can simultaneously have more 3G coverage but suck in general compared to the provider who has the death star for a logo? The company who had to drop the "fewest dropped calls of any network" advertising nonsense in favor of a less-outright-lie "more bars in more places" slogan?
Take a look at some of the maps people have been posting of "3G" iPhone performance (and I put 3G in quotes, because the speeds are anything but). I know that where I live at least, I saw speeds averaging around 350 kilobits/sec. That's plain disgusting...
I easily get 1.1-1.2 megabits (even in marginal signal areas) on my HTC Mogul tethering to my PC. EV-DO Rev.A FTW.
