I hear people bitch about Sprint all the time and never understand it. It could be because I live in Houston so I pretty much always have LTE coverage.



I live in Houston and just switched from Sprint to Verizon and it was like a new world. Even when I was in an area where their 4g LTE was working, it was slower than the 4g I get in my house with Verizon now (I barely got service at all in my house with Sprint.)

Obviously both of our cases are anecdotal, but even as a Houston resident, the marginally lower cost was not worth it.

I've had them since January. 84 dollars for unlimited everything. Besides internet being spotty in some spots, I'm not complaining.

The coverage area is terrible in the BR area.

Sprint's cell coverage in south Baton Rouge is terrible.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


It is NOT worth the SAVINGS. do not do it. I had no internet in NYC. No internet in Miami, No internet in Austin and have crap service in NOLA.

It has been the worst, I made the mistake of leaving Verizon for the savings. Now with the newer plans, Verizon will only be $50 more for the family plan, and that is very much worth it.

ATT is good as well, T-mobile and Sprint...you pay for what you get.
But Tmobile is better in NOLA for sure.

I hate that I have been stuck in a contract with a company that could not fulfill it's end and provide me with reliable internet service.

Had Sprint in BR years ago. Service was terrible. Lots of dropped calls. No service if I went up to a friend's house (Jackson, LA zip code but still EBR up 61 towards St. Francisville)

Depending on where you live and where you travel, I would tell you TMob is the way to go over Sprint all day. I had Sprint for 15 years and switched to TMob. From a $ stand point, they are very close but TMob gives you more features (wifi calling, international calling, free hotspot, etc).
