There's been a few times I couldn't log onto my bank website on my phones with the same message only to fire it up on my laptop when I got home to be greeted with "WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE". Hell, even Google has gone down with the same message. According to most it seems, and it doesn't matter the circumstances of the internet itself, that your phone should access anything and everything at any given time at the tap of a button.
Everyone here bashes Sprint and says how the other carriers are sooooo much better. Whatever. Where I live, T-mo blows, AT&T is just OK, and Verizon is spotty. Sprint is the better option. Period. So if you haven't been to ALL four corners of the U.S. and everywhere in between to measure all data and cellular connectivity, I suggest you move to a country where options are not available before you say F**k Sprint.
The reason I initially switched from Verizon to Splint is that I had no coverage in the area I moved to with Verizon. They kindly let me out of my contract without an early term fee. As I said previously, I was with Splint for about 5 years and was content with their service and quite honestly loved the unlimited data.
I understand that towers get upgraded, but in my business, my phone is my lifeline. I cannot live with calls being dropped multiple times in a conversation, not being able to send a text or make a phone call in one of my restaurants, or missing important calls because I have no service. I expressed my concern with Splint on several occasions, and yes, while they knocked some money off of my bill, there was no resolution with the service. What pisses me off about Splint is how their customer service has declined over the course of the last 5 years. I had three phones with them, and I asked that the ETF for the business line be waived. They refused citing that my service was at their standard. I then asked that my phone number be switched to the shortest contract so I could pay a lesser ETF. Again they refused. I ultimately negotiated a reduced ETF, but had to return the device. I didn't have this kind of headache dealing with Verizon.
I will say that now that I'm with AT&T, I realize the quality of connectivity and data speed I was missing out on with Splint.
Yesterday when I was running errands, I wanted to compare prices of a product online versus a store, so I decided to Google it. Of course, just my luck, the connection wouldn't load the page, although as you can see in the screenshot attached, I have LTE reception. It's so frustrating how Sprint's LTE rollout is so crappy, and they're trying to run on "Unlimited data." Maybe if it were quality data, it would be worth it.

Have you talked to Customer Service about it? Sometimes they may have a fix, or at least an explanation.Yesterday when I was running errands, I wanted to compare prices of a product online versus a store, so I decided to Google it.

If you say so.. You're only seeing one side but that's normal for most people. You tell him to not say F Sprint because you like them.. I say don't tell him to not say it because you like them.. Tomato Tamato.

As compared to? What other carriers have you used in the last year that justify this assessment. This is my speed test on AT&T's network this afternoon. I was lucky to squeeze 12 Mbps out of Splint's network on their new LTE in Columbus, OH.
