Sprint service changing to 1x a lot more frequently then usual

Could this mean my PRL is outdated or should I try a different radio to fix this?

Re: Sprint service changing to 1x a lot more frequently then usual

IF you look at sprint coverage map it has changed dramatically..their contract for 3g tower lease ran out and they renegotiated the deal as 3g roaming as its cheaper.

Re: Sprint service changing to 1x a lot more frequently then usual

the weird thing is, i'm in an area that is "drowning" in 3g coverage, so i don't get why it keeps changing back and forth. Very annoying when i'm trying to tether and it locks in 1x mode

Is it because you are tethering?
