I'm only in 2 places. 1 being my home location with an airave; so, I can't tell if it's the service in general lately; or, just where I am at work.

Usually have full service. I'm at 2-3 bars. Slow internet. Sometimes disconnects. SMS aren't going through at 100% success rate. More like 75-80%. Long Island, NY area.
 
Im fine in chicago subrurbs. A tower did go out near my home after that bad storm we had here about 2 weeks ago but that was fixed promptly.

We just had heat the last 3 days ranging (in order of days) 104-95. Maybe something overheated.

I had contacted sprint via online chat and was directed to an odd rep, lol. One who I quote: "I will open up a ticket for a repairman to service the area. Please be assured that you will never experience this issue again in the future".

Pretty bold statement.
 
I'm still getting 1-3 bars in my office where I was getting full service before. I contacted them about the issue and they told me nothing was wrong. And here I am a week later and still lower signal here.
 
So 5 minutes after I typed this the lights went out here. Bad thunderstorm. Must have knocked out the Sprint tower. Roaming now. Hopefully they'll fix if this time.
 
I don't recall ever getting all bars inside a building. Is your office a tent?

No, lol. It's a 3 year old building made of cheap paper like products. It's like a house of cards. It's already falling apart.

For a year now I've had full service in my office. It would flux here and there but would show full service here and there. While I was roaming I had full Verizon service with no flux. Now I back to 2 bars off and on Sprint. Must have lost a restored power there. I had neither service for a good couple of minutes.
 
I guess if I worked in a thin building I'd experience it about the same. I'm picking up the fringe signals at my house (which is also my office) but when I go into town it's full bars most of the time. Until, of course, I walk into a building and then all bets are off.

This building is pretty thin yes. A lot of buildings around here I lose signal; but, there are a few where I retain. In NYC I'm surprised of the number of concrete buildings that have excellent service.

Where as I step one foot into my house and all signal is lost. Then again, outside aint no better either.
