I've had Sprint for over 8 years and while 3G was never great, old WiMAX 4G was reliable, though scarce in my area (Ft Lauderdale, FL). Fast forward to late last year and the beginning of this year and coverage has taken a dive, on both 3G and 4G. I've read in a few places that it's due to NV deployment, but every Sprint rep I've talked to says NV would never cause service disruptions, only enhancements. I'm on a family plan, and although one line was recently upgraded, the second is without a contract. I'm really torn about switching to AT&T, as their customer care is awful (I've never had an issue with Sprint's CC, they've always been helpful -specially Retentions Dept and their retention credits ), but AT&T's 4G speeds, specially inside buildings is phenomenal! While I get a paltry 2Mbps at work, my friends get around 20-25Mbps -and that's when I don't lose signal altogether... My question is: for you guys on the inside, what's the hope of this situation getting better? I've been hearing "another 3-4 months" for about a year; with the recent acquisition by SoftBank, there was a lot of hope that they would invest aggressively on Sprint, as they've done in Japan and other markets, but their own CEO mentioned this week that they expect a slower build up. See link: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/30/us-sprint-softbank-idUSBRE98T18D20130930 So what's the picture here? Anyone with any knowledge as to the NV roadmap for South Florida -specifically Fort Lauderdale (33309)? Thanks for listening! Looking forward to any replies! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
