While the logic is sound, in execution it's not so rosy. Data roaming limits you to 1x, even when evdo is available, and sprint forces their customers on the sprint network, even when the coverage from verizon is ten times better, and sprints coverage is unreliable.

you are correct but from what i've noticed is the places where sprint doesn't get good service and i have to roam on the verizon network, in those areas verizon isn't receiving a evdo rev a signal, they are just the strongest 1x provider which means the data speeds are still the same. this is most of the time not always.
