Re: Verizon is SOOO MUCH faster than Sprint...

I heard that when Sprint put all that $$$ into clearwire that they didnt specifically say that all this money goes to making more 4G spots. So Clear took some of that money an started opening up stores and making more of their devices an things like that. So sprint didnt get its 4G network opened up like it should have been. Sucks but now that they just put like a billion dollars in Clear i hope they said here this is only for our 4G!

Yeah, I'm pissed because Detroit is still without Sprint 4G and my friend has Verizon LTE that averages around 20 mbps... WiMax won't get close to that

Re: Verizon is SOOO MUCH faster than Sprint...

Yeah, it sucks but right now Sprint is going through a lot of changes such as converting all of their 3G and 4G towers in their Network Vision plan or something like that. Hopefully we start to see drastic improvements in network quality. A year ago Sprint's service was on par with Verizon's at a fraction of the price, now the savings almost don't seem worth it.

Re: Verizon is SOOO MUCH faster than Sprint...

one thing to consider is Verizon hasn't really had a lot of users on their 4g network yet. I stopped by their store the other day and the manager admitted that the speeds will drop a good bit once they have more lte devices on the network. the thunderbolt in the store was clicking around 23mb down which is amazing, mine was around 6mb in the same spot. I hope Sprint makes the right moves going forward. if not, they are screwed imo.

The pricing alone is the reason I stay with Sprint. Verizon is like buying gas now, way to high for the same product.

Agreed... I have no speed issues with sprint's 4g. I do everything I want on spcs 4g network (Videos, Netflix) etc. Not to say that big red's lte 4g isn't faster.

Re: Verizon is SOOO MUCH faster than Sprint...

I think I just need more towers in my area, period. It seems like the EVO brought so many peeps to Sprint the network is just bogged down. I roam on Verizon PRL's at work, because the data connection is so damn slow for Sprint at my office.
