Re: UMTS/HSPA Speeds

I think the point is that it's a lot easier to offer fast and consistent service when nobody else is using it (i.e. Sprint). If sprint were to launch an iphone with the same kind of #'s ATT did, I would expect similar issues.

Anyhow, I read here that ATT has additional spectrum available..I suspect as that rolls out 3G will improve for all of us. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Even if that were true, which strikes me as unlikely given that it was just as fast before they started losing so many customers, it still suggests to me that I'm better off staying with Sprint.

So either Sprint's network is just plain better (my guess), or it's just less busy now and those of us left will get the benefits until they go under. Either way, I'd have to be insane to get an iPhone and switch.
