Preferred Roaming List (PRL) For Sprint

I ran across this and I am wondering what PRL is all about. I updated it, but I have no idea what it is. I was on AT&T and just switched to Sprint a couple days ago so this is the first time I encountered it.

Welcome to Sprint and enjoy the show speed lane.
I bought the Nexus 6, tested on Cricket for 10 days, it was great. But as Sprint customer, I finally activated on Sprint and my nightmare started
Very slow to connect to LTE network

I haven't had any issues at all with Sprint's LTE network. My location is covered by their Spark Network.

Like with any carrier, check coverage in your area first. I'm in Atlanta and I get solid, fast LTE everywhere I go.

I have good LTE in my area with few black holes. I know where the data is good or not because I play Ingress on my phone.
With the Galaxy S5, I didn't have to wait in the same spots even when I see 1 bar. Now I have to with 2 bars

Same here. ATL is lousy with LTE.
