Sprint's Turnaround Effort Is Picking Up Steam

I Agree...So far to date Sprint's new WIMAX service has allready gained over 40,000 plus coustomers, an empressive number for a new emerging technology &, the Big reason is a portion of their subscribers can't get high speed internet, due to cable systems not being in their serviceable areas ( or have not upgraded to a fiber/ coaxial system ), & the telephone company in their area has not expanded their DSL service to their household...This is a BIG Plus for Sprint. Their making the first jump & I think this is a very smart move in order for them to make a come back in the wireless market...But the question still remains , what does Verizon have planned after they aquire Alltel ? We will see soon........

 

Finally, some good news floating around about Sprint. Seems like things are going much better. But then again, after you've hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

On a serious note, I'm very very very pleased with my overall Sprint experience. I've been with uscc, verizon, cingular, tmobile, telcel, and sprint/nextel. So far, Sprint has been the best forme

 

thats what it is all about dude.

 

I'm not surprised to hear this. I think that Sprint has taken more of a bad rap than they actually deserve and sooner or later people are going to realize that Sprint offers a good product and that you can't always believe all of the negative hype floating around.

On a side note I bet Deutsche Telekom is regretting not making a bid sooner because now Sprint is less likely to sell and with the stock prices going up they would have to pay a lot more money for them now than they would have just a few months back.

 

Hesse is doing a good job and hopefully will keep the ball rolling.

Do you notice that only almost everything it used to say Sprint together with Nextel, they have really restricted their use of both the names together. Even on Nascar you only see Sprint.

 

I hope they never do. We don't need more mergers.

 

Agreed. I think even Verizon and Alltel is eventually going to be a bad thing for consumers.

 

if Verizon and Alltel merge i wont have a problem with it a long as they do drop all the overlapping spectrum to other companies that could use it...........Metro is very promising......and USCC

 

Many of us Alltel customers agree with you.

 

I agree again. Sprint is taking a risk, & I think it is going to prove positive for them. And don't think Verizon don't relize that. remember if they do away with the 1900 Mhz frequency it will be much easier for them to deploy their new 4G service on thier allready lincensed 700 Mhz spectrum ( in referance to their all ready owned 800 Mhz, & Alltel's current 800 Mhz area ). But all in all Sprint is just like XM Radio, in a way. XM was to first provider to offer commerical free sattelite radio via sattelite coast to coast , and to have auto manufactures to include their service in vehicles just after inception. I can predict Sprint will be setting the standard when all is said & done. I still will give Sprint on a scale of 1 - 10 a Firm 10 + on their move, but only time will tell I presume...

 

i honestly stand strongly by Sprint because the Xohm brand is so open and generically available.......people can wholesale it and all different kinds of companies can use it for their customers.........cable companies in on the Xohm venture can offer their customers another internet option because not all people who have cable can get cable internet........the cable system might not be up to par......this is an oppurtunity.....and in the end......LTE is just another cellular technology.......locked up in contracts and cellular voice plans
