I have been on Tmo for the last couple of years. Coverage is pretty good but when I go down I12, coverage becomes non-existent. Last week we went to Livingstone and we had zero signal, same on Airport Road in Hammond.

Sprint is straight grill nutt. Switched out of that a few years ago and have not looked back.

Buddy of mine still uses Sprint. No shite, he has to call me about 4 times to carry on a 10 min convo. They are the worst out of all of them for dropped calls.

I have Sprint in BR and have almost zero problems.

I can only think of a handful of places where coverage is 3g.

It does drop to 3G for a few mins on my daily commute to Hammond.

I switched from ATT to Sprint back in December. I travel frequently for work and haven't had any issues. I also drive between Dallas and Mandeville several times a month and have had zero issues. They've done an extensive amount of upgrades to their network.

I've been with Sprint for years and I'm done. Their data coverage is worse now than 5 years ago. My POS iPhone refuses to roam, so I'm unable to do anything while the person next to me with Verizon is streaming movies. My old droid I could force to roam, but not the iphone.

I'm grandfathered into unlimited data, so that's been my hold up from switching. But an unlimited amount of data that never works is pretty worthless. Sprint sucks.

My first thought of a response was going to be "SHitty"

Then I read this

And realized that you would be upgrading by going to Sprint

Only reason I'm still with sprint is their unlimited data. Outside of that, they blow.

Would go with Verizon if they offered unlimited data.

I'm in Georgia, but I travel enough to sample their crap nationwide. I really feel like their network or their roaming setting have gotten substantially worse in the last 2-3 years.

ETA- I would have already switched, but I've got kids that are used to unlimited data. I'm scared to see the bill if we were not unlimited.

Sprint is the absolute worst. Had them for 18 years. Finally making switch. I can go into detail but will refrain because I may have a heart attack.

Been with sprint at least 10 years, maybe longer. A lot better now than they used to be. A lot of people don't really know about their improvements and the different bands they now use. People think their older phones and sprint sucks because they haven't updated their device to a newer triband phone. Their service is actually pretty good and I get anywhere between 15mbps to 50mbps traveling between Livonia to new Orleans. There are some bad areas for data but I've never had a problem with voice service in the last 2 years or maybe more...
