Getting a quick sprint network rant off my chest ...

[zmann]

Thank god for sprints unlimited data. I stream sirius /xm radio 6 days a week for 8 hours per day. I can't imagine what 5 lines anywhere else would cost. A teen with an iphone, wife with a nexus,, my evo,, brother has a nexus and a 20 year old with a galaxy 3. I would not be able to afford all that data anywhere else.

EVO-LUTION 4G LTE

"How can you use a network where the max individual data plan is 5gbs and the family plan is 10gbs. IMO the plans don't match the speed of the network and cost."

Very simply I don't use a full 5 gigs of data in one month. I avg about 500megs to 1.5gigs on a super busy month. And again for me Network speeds and coverage is more important than saving $10 and not being able to use it when I need it. Also I do understand its a location thing as well so if your able to surf with 500K then I say save your self the $10. But to I want data that I can use when I need it. So my plan works great for me.

I guess Verizon would be better for someone that doesn't use much data.

Also the difference is more than just ten bucks.

You trying to say Verizon and t mobile cost the same?

I was talking about my Sprint plan Vs att. Sorry if I did not clearly state that. My bad. Sprint with my discount was $89.99 a month with insurance and a single line of service. With att I get 3 gigs of data, 450 minutes, unlimited texting with rollover minutes and insurance for $97.69 a month with my discount from work. So for me it wasn't to much of a difference. But if you use over 3gigs a data a month then thats where you start to see a huge difference I think. So it really comes down to your use.

But like you said...Verizon is even more than $10 and Tmo is cheaper than att and Verizon. So you gotta look at your options. If your in a good area for Sprint then I would stick with them. Its not a bad deal if your in a good area with signal.

I did change one setting on my device, or rather in one of my apps. In my podcast catcher, I disabled automatic downloads, and streaming performance has become noticeably better. That actually should not have mattered, because I had the podcast app set to download episodes only when connected through wifi; then again, the app in question is quite notoriously buggy. Be that as it may, I've just been out walking for 45 minutes, and streamed a radio station for the entire time without any stalls or buffering. What's more, the station in question is one that has always been particularly difficult to stream, to the point that in the past I"ve often been unable to stream it even when other stations worked fine using the same app (TuneIn).

As I said, I don't know if the changes I made have anything to do with it, or if it's just the weather.

Or maybe Sprint has really been upgrading the towers in my area...
