Help me decide between carries please?

I have been with att for about 3 years until january 15th when I switched to sprint because of AT&T's bullcrap top 5% throttling thing. I like sprints service but in the middle of the day they're 3G goes horribly slow, like 200kbps to 500kbps.
I work rotating shifts and at about 12am to 4 am it always runs at above 1.5mbps wish it ran like that all day. I noticed that right when I opened the sprint account, I started getting charged for texting internationally to vietnam which I have no idea why as I don't know anyone there. anyways I had them block the single number which they said was only outgoing texts never incoming. anyways, I am lockeed into a contract with sprint now but I called earlier and complained about them changing my discount to only my primary line and told them thats a breach of my contract and voila!!! they said if thats how I feel about it I can cancel My account without ETF fee's. So I have to decide on sprint or att heres the breakdown
on my plans please tell me which one would you guys go with?

Sprint (current carrier)
about $148 a month
1500 minutes with any mobile to any mobile
unlimited text and data

ATT:
$138 a month for 2 iphones
700 minutes with any mobile to any mobile
A-list: 10 landlines that I can assign unlimited minutes too
unlimited data on both lines
unlimited text
I have about 7000 rolled over minutes sitting there at all times

I like my ATT plan better but the throttling is what is keeping me on sprints side as I consume up to 10GB's a month and ATT is throttling down to less than edge after about 2gb's. Also att seems to give me a more solid signal here in Los Angeles. spriint is spotty in some areas and I have already ran into 2 spots where there is no signal at all in the middle of the city.

which one would you guys choose? Consider that sprint is also supposedly upgrading its 3g network this year and rolling out it's LTE network too

Do you know that you will be able to get unlimited data back with AT&T? I know they tell you when you cancel that you can get your same package back within 60 days, but they may deny your unlimited data, only because they're taking every opportunity to get rid of it.

So the choice is to keep Sprint and while not being throttled their network is so overloaded in your area that you might as well be throttled, or stay with AT&T and be limited to 3GB or 5GB if you happen to live in one of their few LTE areas. I guess you need to make the choice - one thing to consider - the Sprint data network is only getting more crowded all the time with all those iPhones. Plus with the money Sprint has to pay Apple - they have less money for infrastructure improvements.

I was on Sprint when I moved to my new location. They were pretty good where I lived, but could not even make a call at my new house (AT&T and Verizon no problems). That was several years ago and people with Sprint still can't make calls from my neighborhood. They kept saying improvements were coming.

It is really goingn to boil down to what you use and what carriers work best in your area. I work for AT&T but i use sprint because at my house and my girlfriends house are dead zones for AT&T. I need my phone to work foremost to make and recieve calls and text. Data i primiarliy use wifi anyways.

That's ironic!

I decided to stay with sprint. I really liked my att plan and the network but the 3gb that they give you is crap I neveruse less than 5 a month. Usually 6-8. Hopefully sprint doesn't pull the same crap in the future. I'm also on the lookout on Craigslist to take over liability of a Verizon contract with unlimited data.
