Yeah if I got that when I had Sprint I would of been happy. Anything 7 or higher I'm happy with because you can pretty much do anything with that.. But with Sprint the only times I got LTE in Jacksonville was in areas I never was in often. So I got stuck on 3g and sometimes couldn't even get Google to come up.
I'm glad it works for you. Maybe Jacksonville FL (where I live) is just to big land mass wise for Sprint.. Taking them longer.. It may be fixed now but not sure. I went to T-Mobile for the same reason you like Sprint.. I need unlimited. I use to much data. I know T-Mobile's data can suck in between towns but I rarely travel so that's why it fits for me.
Don't take it the wrong way I want Sprint to fix it and be awesome... I root for the unlimited carriers.. I want them to succeed like crazy
.Below are my normal HSPA and LTE speeds around town.

Yeah I don't understand it I live in the country north of Detroit and after the tower upgrades my LTE is working really well. It is still a bit spotty and the upgrades have taken forever but at least in my area it's up

I really tried to deal with Sprint but knowing there was AT&T and Verizon out there with nice robust networks when I was suffering with Sprint was just killing me.

Na. I never took it the wrong way. Just a little passionate I guess. More carriers, especially with unlimited, the better the competition and prices. See, T-mo works better for you where you live and there's nothing wrong with that. Sprint just happens to be better here for me. For a while though, our service sucked. Dropped and/or choppy calls, data was non-existent, and the overall experience was seriously getting on my wife's nerves. It took 6 months putting up with BS but finally and all of a sudden, our service improved 100%. I also understand people need service and when it fails, it frustrates and like you said, time to move on to something that works!
BTW, great speeds! I get to Jax here and there. I deliver to Trads Landscaping and Garden Center on San Jose Blvd if you know where that's at.

I deliver specialized custom potting soil to them. Of coarse it has to be in my Mack mini wheeler as they order 35 yards. I have to leave our yard at 4:30 in the morning to be there by 8am and if there is an accident at the SJB exit (I'm coming from Orange Park, Hwy 17 entrance onto 295)....fageddaboutit....I'm late

I don't know what the heck just happened there with the double....I tried to fix it...but it ain't there. Go figure....
This is what pisses ME off. If you looked closely at what I posted, the website is Google.com. You might have heard of it. Oh and if it goes down, there would be more complaints than mine.
Thank you and have a nice day.
One more thing. I called Sprint to complain, they pretty much said yes we know we have **** LTE at the moment, we're going to give you $30 towards your bill as an apology for the inconvenience. Bye.

Woah! That was just mean!
All seriousness aside, I just called Splint to term my final line, and I wish I had had this rep in previous conversations. Yeah, she did what she could to keep me on by offering a free tablet on my last remaining line to finish out my contract, and was quite the charmer, but why would I want a tablet on a crippled network? I simply told her that I would pay Splint the $500+ parting gift and be on my way, and told her that she did a great job, and that Splint would be wise to have more people like her on their front line.
And uh yeah. Google.com HAS gone down. Yup sure has. MMMHMMM. Along with every other site ever created and displayed on the internet. Sites can get overwhelmed and crash unexpectedly for a very short period of time. Obamacare <------ever heard of it? Works like a charm don't it? Also sites can go offline for a short time due to maintenance. But I forgot....your the expert.
Hasta La Pasta there Luigi.
Oh and.......

Oh by the way Gator... The trads place put out some Xmas lights on their building.
I thought it was cool for them to do some Christmas stuff

I think they did it last year also but real sure. I remember being there just before Xmas and seeing some Xmas stuff but it was in the morning and all the lights were off. But that is great though. Heck, all we have is an xmas tree inside the office and that's it. I'm not sure when I'll get there again as they order about every two months or so.

We spend so much time researching our next phones, we don't spend enough time researching the service in our areas. If we did, maybe we wouldn't have to [language removed by moderator] when our provider doesn't have the reception we would like. I'm just saying.

You have a mouse in your pocket?
Please don't include me in your uninformed assumption.

I think that I requested that posts remain on topic and avoid the nonsense observed in all posts following that request. Closed.
