Unfortunately, on workdays Sprint's data is unusable in downtown SF (Financial district) like 50% of the times. And when I say unusable, I mean no data at all. The phone is timing out when trying to resolve DNS on LTE. If I switch to 3G, I get speeds that are embarrassingly close to zero (0.15 - 0.05 Mbps). And in general, you need to do constant airplane mode, power cycle etc. to get data to work. Other carriers might be slower at times / locations, but nothing as bad. I am seeing it even while on the street. In fact, I once noticed it just when I was in front of the Sprint store on market st. So I decided to walk in and check how other phones are doing, to eliminate an issue with my phone. The guy there told me I don't need to try. They are all getting the same (close to zero) speeds that I do.. The problem is not slow speeds. The network is just unreliable at the moment. There are also voice issues: lots of dropped calls. I really hope that things will get better soon enough, but right now the service in downtown SF is just bad. By the way, SF does not have spark. It doesn't even officially have LTE yet.
