Re: Go Sprint Go!

I sure hope they can get their network speeds up. This is only 1 example so I know I'll catch grief for it, but I see this all the time. The 56k down is Sprint so-called 3G. Most times I see 150k or less. The 807kb down is forced 3G roaming on US Cellular minutes later at the same location. I've been all over Missouri, even in Sprint's backyard in Overland Park, and their 3G is always SLOW. I know these numbers mean next to nothing to the average Joe, but when it takes over 5 minutes to load Facebook, if it loads at all, people will say screw this!!

That is part of the network vision plan. Current 3G backhaul is terribly outdated in many places but it will be upgraded for both LTE and 3G.

The top speed is typical of what I see during the day on USCC, also. I also switched from Sprint, using the loophole of "material adverse changes" when they reduced my employer discount. Last night, I was getting about 1800 down on USCC! My cousin came over with his Sprint iPhone a few weeks ago. He couldn't even download this Speedtest app. Yeah, that's how bad it was!
