Things will definitely improve and Sprint will survive. But having said all that, I see no value in continuing to give them my business while they get their act together. I will switch and come back when/if the dust settles. In my particular situation, it's the right move. Certainly Sprint has a lot to offer still and many do not have issues so it makes sense to stick it out. I hope they do well.

my thoughts exactly, imma goto t-mobile when they release me from the contract then i will come back to sprint when this mess is sorted out.

@Riley U should goto T-Mobile,cheaper than Verizon and very fast speeds. I had an HD7 at a t-mobile store and tested it and got 21M on 3G.

thanks Eric. I willl give it another look for sure.

we almost considered tmobile to but the coverage in my area was not stellar and we still do not know if at&t will buy them or not.

at least with verizon i get good 3g and while my 4g is sketchy i at least have it and the speeds are decent. most important is i can use my phone again, sprint was a nightmare.

@Dr.8820 yea I remember that, how's that possible on a 3G phone? Only thing is its capped so the throttled speeds will probably be less than 500k
