RAvirani Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 That's what I expected. I've been with them since 2007 and other than some Nextel sites coverage has never been expanded in my areas. Probably time to move on. Too much 3G still and too often service that isn't useable in buildings. The pitfalls of doing business with a company that never seems to have any money I guess. Yea an iPhone 5 is not reflective of Sprint's performance in the slightest. Without Band 26, I can imagine there would be drops to 3G all the time. Try a newer phone (one with CA if possible). I'm confident your impression of Sprint will be changed dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that but the phone in my profile is wrong. I'm using an iPhone 6S Plus. The reality is that Sprint has neglected the market for so long now that a ton of work needs to be done and they don't have the resources to do it. The LTE rollout isn't even complete. You would think a densely populated state like NJ wouldn't be that hard to cover. Luckily I just went out of contract last month so I'm not obligated to stay.

If you are not happy with Sprint coverage, then you will most likely not be happy T-mobile either. Of course, that is only my opinion.

Mitsospiros Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 To my surprise, the last tower around me without LTE just got LTE. I mapped it on Sensorly. It's on the NJ turnpike north of exit 7 but below 195 right behind the rest stop on the water tower. Only problem I have is there are still areas around me without LTE. And the areas with LTE are a weak B26. Hopefully Sprint will continue to improve this area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wfmets45 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I personally switched to Verizon when they came out with their unlimited plan. In NYC Sprint was great but in NJ it needed much improvement. So far so good with Verizon but Sprint has improved A LOT in NYC and hopefully they continue to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GMO site still hasn't been upgraded near me so service is still very poor data is even worse. But in the rest of town.

WillM Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So true. I finally gave up though. After a bit more than 8 years they still couldn't manage to expand coverage in any way whatsoever. Too many highly developed areas with sub par coverage or service. Decided to see what T-Mobile is like and if they don't work we'll switch over to Verizon. It's only been a few days but it's more or less a lateral move coverage wise though T-Mobile has been adding new sites which means they care about the market. The big difference is how useable the signal is. The other day I had one bar of 4G but webpages loaded in a second or two. A similar Sprint signal would've been unusable. Sprint does offer roaming but I've found it useless the past few years. And of course it's nice to have VoLTE now instead of waiting another year or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Sprint Prepaid now and after all the years they start Network Vision here I still don't have LTE on my house I have to go out to the street to get it CDMA band 10 is nonexistent pretty much don't know why.

WillM Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yeah. They really have a lot of work to do in Central Jersey especially with the other carriers not standing still for the past number of years. The budget just isn't there I guess.

The budget just isn't there I guess.Yes that's true I guess you don't have a budget anymore and with Verizon offering unlimited data Sprint's in serious trouble. So they have less money to work with and their debt load is huge. So I guess Sprint has a very uncertain future Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
