Then you're on Sprint.

Which the 7 years prior to jumping over to T-Mobile a year ago has shown me to be an awful thing to have happen to you in life.

At this point I'd rather pay the obscene data fees at Verizon or AT&T before switching back to Sprint, where LTE coverage drops randomly (I actually liked their WiMax network significantly more!), you get text messages two days later, and phone calls to you just never arrive despite ringing and ringing on the caller's end.

sounds like your interaction with sprint was before the completion of the NV rollout - It's better now, and I'll stick around for GV integration.

Unfortunately not - NV was rolled out in my area in 2012, so I had quite a few years on NetworkVision. It was a marginal improvement at best, and I kinda feel like I'm being a bit generous in calling it an improvement at all.

I guess audio quality on calls went up?

Sorry for the late reply.

NV in my region gave a many fold improvement on data performance, voice performance came later (when the NV network launched here - even when done on 80% of the sites - there were still huge dropped call issues, because of the inability to handover between legacy and NV, and because of a lack of meaningful optimizations on the new network)

If you were deployment in 2012 - you must be in Chicago since that was the launch market - Chicago had more problems then the next 4 NV markets combined, huge build quality issues, most of which have been resolved now.

Even then - with NV you didnt see real improvement in most areas until the launch was complete, which took a hell of a long time - 2ish years for Seattle, longer elsewhere.

NV for those not in the know was an forklift upgrade of the sprint network, and involved wholesale replacement of everything from the Antennas to the Switch.
