It's that time again. OpenSignal January 2020 report is out. No awards for Sprint yet again. Sprint takes second place in the Video Experience metric at 55.5 (good). Number one is Verizon at 58.8 (good). Sprint comes in last in the Voice App Experience metric at 75.6 (acceptable). T-Mobile and AT&T tied for the number one spot at 79.4 and 79.3 respectively. Sprint comes last in the Download Speed Experience metric at 23.9. AT&T takes the award with a 27.5. Sprint comes last in the Upload Speed Experience metric (no surprise there). They scored a 2.7. T-Mobile took the award with an 8.6. Sprint is in third for the Latency Experience metric with a score of 55. AT&T took the award with a score of 49.7. Sprint is in last for the 4G Availability metric with users spending 92.5% of their time on 4G. Verizon took the award with their users spending 95.9% of their time on 4G. Sprint is in last place on the 4G Coverage Experience metric with a score of 8.2/10. Verizon took the award with a score of 9.7/10. There is definitely more yellow on the regional analysis summary than there was last time.

Would like to know this also. Florida has been a declining Sprint market according to RootMetrics.

I'll agree with you that coverage hasn't improved much. But "Sprint has just stalled" is definitely not true. They've been working hard on upgrading and improving what they've got and it shows in the speed test data.

That is a total lie based on Ookla data from the past two years. Took themselves from last place to second place. https://imgur.com/a/uvn9sBC

You mean no priority lol

Inseego MiFi 8000 doesn't support 5G.

Pulled from the Sprint subreddit. A speed test that needs talking about. Speed test taken on an Inseego MiFi 8000 hotspot. https://www.speedtest.net/result/8829049223

Ookla data shows Sprint's improvements over the last two years. Started off Q1 2018 in last at 23.6Mbps average download speed. They finished Q4 2019 in second at 39.5Mbps average download speed. T-Mobile finds themselves in last and Verizon in 3rd as congestion catches up with them. https://imgur.com/a/uvn9sBC

Sprint doesn't support eSIM on iPhones.

Um no.

Yup. I just love how they're making up articles even though they have no clue what the outcome will be.

Is uplink 64QAM a network-wide thing now?

There was a Bloomberg article posted last Thursday that says the opposite XD https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-02/analyst-sees-judge-likely-to-block-t-mobile-s-sprint-merger

Not necessarily. Multiple people reporting the same thing. It's oddly specific as well.

Virgin Mobile customers are being migrated to Boost Mobile.

It was "by year end" but in Sprint language. "By year end" in Sprint language translates to "by the end of the next year" in normal English.

So it was "year end" in Sprint language.

Bit Depth

Took a trip from Beaufort to Summerville on Christmas day. Sprint had coverage almost the entire way which was a pleasant surprise. My mum's iPhone XR was without service for a grand total of about 3 seconds. The less than pleasant surprise was how bad T-Mobile's coverage was. My T-Mobile line spent about a third of the trip without service. Luckily I had my Verizon line to pick up the slack.
