HSPA+ is a dead end technology. Which is why TMo is rushing to patch together an LTE network now. You basically have 3g on steroids. Its all good, though. Won't be long before Softbank/Sprint/Clearwire gobbles up TMo/Metro PCS.

It's Sprint. I just like that 4g icon more. Rooted and deodexed.

Even with cheaper plans it still isnt cheaper than Sprint lol.....and much less unlimited. So what, do you live stream videos that u need all that bandwidth?? lmao...
I'm happy paying $50-200 dollars (on sale even cheaper) for a $500-700+ dollar phones, have normal speeds that are only getting better, and pay less.

I envy you.. The most I've seen here in Raleigh Nc is 17 down Tops. That's some serious extra-ness lol.

I had a purple battery too, but lost it on my last flash. Haven't had time to put out back on. Yes, I like purple. Yes, I'm a straight guy.
Btw, Sprint has improved vastly over the past 2 years in my opinion. At my house, I'm averaging 27mbps down. Used to only get 5-8, and sub par 3g speeds

This is Sprint speeds in Hawaii Kai today.
Sprint speeds in Hawaii is Bad.
I have been a Nextel/Sprint customer since 1999.
I will switch to T-mobile starting tomorrow when my wife and I HTC One's will come in.
My sisters S3 on T-mobile has pretty good download speeds on HSPA+(12-20MB)
and uploads of about(2-4MB) at her work and at home.
As well as my coworkers that have T-mobile they have really good
data speeds and coverage indoors(pretty much same as above).
Sprint 4G Wimax cannot I mean cannot penetrate any walls at work. I have to be next to a open Window
for Wimax to catch and if it does?It drops out so easily.
Not to mention it's a huge battery drain. 2500MHZ is really weak
when indoors.
I am paying almost 160 dollars a month with a 24% discount and insurance on our O.G Evo's.
With T-mobile my bill will be about 150 dollars(15% corporate discount off the top of the bill) for 2 lines.
Both Unlimited minutes, unlimited text, free wifi calling (from any where in the world),
My data plan will have unlimited data no throttled +(500 mb hotspot) and my wife's data plan will be the 2.5 GB data with hotspot included).
No 2 year contract will make it easy for me to switch carriers.
All you are obligated to is pay off the cost of the phone,
Best of all... once I pay off the phones? 40 dollars will come of my bill. Which would be about 110 dollars for my family plan.
that would be about a 50 dollar savings each month.
I have already sat down and confirmed my total cost(taxes and fees) when I signed up with T-Mobile.
I also heard that there are some
Lte towers live in and around Honolulu as we speak?
For me it wasn't just about data speed. But what value I can get
From my hard earned cash now and in the long run.
It was hard to switch carriers because I have been with Sprint
which seems like forever.
But as long time Sprint customers know, in recent years,Sprint has started to nickle and dime us i.e
got rid of the gold(1 year upgrades) and silver membership customer rewards. Corporate discounts are only applied to
just the primary line in the account now. Added a 10 dollar premium data(look at my photo below x 2 phones) charge on each smartphone
after the O.G Evo came out.
Hopefully, if Softbank is successful at buying Sprint out,They will offer better plans to Sprint customers.
I have been off contract for almost a year now. I was trying to be patient to see this NV through.
I also frequent the S4GRU forums.This is a great site in regards to Sprint NV Updates and information.
I have frequently asked about NV in Honolulu.To which I normally get an answer of... no new information or probably by the end of
2013 for NV upgrades.
I know Sprint will have great data speeds down the road once NV is completed.
However, price point and current
T-mobile bringing back (unlimited data) & speeds tipped the scale for me.
EDIT: I just found this tidbit at Tmonews.
T-Mobile?s LTE rollout has already gotten under way with seven markets live and serving the customers in those markets. Seven markets may seem small compared to the depth of competitors rollouts, but T-Mobile is set to bump their LTE market count in the coming weeks with a number of launches in May and a rumored two dozen markets going live in June. T-Mobile is expected to have more than 100 million pops before the end of Summer and 200 million pops covered before the end of the year.
Included in the May rollout are Richmond, VA; Honolulu and Maui, Minneapolis and Austin/San Antonio. Assuming the rumored timetables I?m hearing stay on schedule, all of those markets are on schedule to go live before the last day of May. Other potential May markets (pending construction schedules) include Stockton, Modesto, some of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Oakland and Fremont.

Yup lilotimz your absolutely right aloha means goodbye to Sprint!
... To bad Sprint has bad service
Up to this point here in Hawaii.
As of last night been on T-mobile. And boy what a difference in coverage and speed and price point compared to Sprint.
Again, yes goodbye and good riddance to Sprint
And too melli.. What was this about the grass is greener on the
Other side? Your absolutely right too! It's is. Thanks for advice
And moving on from Sprint. I was wasting my money patiently
Waiting for NV to start here. While I was stuck with 90kbs download speeds.
Again thanks guys!
Aloha

That's cool if you want to leave but to come here and jus trash talk and even point a forum member is uncool. I am in a NV area so it isn't that bad.. But if your not I definitely can't blame you for leaving because I probably would to if I was stuck with only 3g..But bashing people isn't required

People love to bash sprint. It's a thing. I. Consistently get over 40mbps and Pay less than most t mobile customers. I also have my sprint number as my Google Voice number. It's gorgeous.
Anyway. Point is, I'm over haters. Check the Sprint forums, Facebook, anywhere. They are all vile people. Sprint has some great fans, but a lot of vile toxic customers and I'm fine with them leaving.
