Someone at s4gru pointed out that this was written from the same info Blomberg got."Their strategy, in a nutshell, is to scale back their 2.5 GHz deployment to just three to five cities, providing what they describe as a 'Tokyo-like' experience in those markets," Craig Moffett, analyst at MoffettNathanson, told IBD. "In the rest of the country, they plan to be positioned as 'best value.' That marks a rather radical departure from Sprint's and SoftBank's previously stated strategy of building the 'best network' on a broad scale."
In other words, outside those 3 to 5 cities, the network is as good as it's going to get.

This is the problem with Sprint. You cannot continue to advertise unlimited data plans when a good chunk of your network is still running a T1 connection. Obviously, your backhaul is going to get saturated and overwhelmed.
