WTH is Sprint doing??

[truthteller10]

The decision makers at Sprint are fools..Instead of focusing their resources to the cities they announced 4g LTE 3 months ago they are constantly announcing new markets. For the life of me I can't understand why Sprint can't provide a quality experience in a few areas instead of deploying resources to other areas just to keep up with the competition. Im in Houston TX and the experience of LTE is far less than a good quality one but yet they continue to spread resources elsewhere. SHAMEFUL!!!

They are announcing new markets because they are trying to bring lte to all of America as fast as possible then concentrate on the maintenance of these markets its supply and demand duhhh

Was in San Antonio this weekend and had a chance to play with 4G, as it's not available here on the Border yet.

It was nice, but drained the hell out my battery. It was also very non- consistent.

Sprint will need to work on that seriously before jumping off in other markets.

Here in Atlanta I can see no difference in battery usage between 4G LTE and WiFi. I still get 12+ hours of battery life on my EVO 4G LTE on either.

In NE Atlanta LTE is now solid and reliable.

Your Mileage May Vary on other devices.

I throughly agree with you and it makes no sense at all. They have markets that were launched 3 months ago at 15% towers and yet these same markets are only at 21% average. It makes absolutley no sense to keep putting out horrible quality services while trying to promote quantity. Any CEO can tell you that quality is always best over quantity.

History has shown that when companies focus on quantity over quality their business surely declines. Customers don't want half A$%$# work they want quality work!!

Well, on the flip side of all of this, there are a lot of Sprint customers who bought WiMAX phones a couple years ago and never saw WiMAX hit their markets. I got to play with WiMAX ONCE on my Epic 4G when I visited LA.

I can only imagine they're doing this quantity over quality deployment for LTE in desperation. They're losing lots of customers to other carriers that will give them decent data speeds in all major markets NOW. Most of the time, my 3G speeds on Sprint are slower than my circa 1998 ISDN connection was! I'm canceling my Sprint service this week - I just ordered a T-Mobile SIM and my unlocked GNex is on its way.

Well Chicago saw a lot of Wimax look at my speeds from last night
