Sprint promised LTE service a while back and had a slew of phone with this technology as an option that could be enabled. On the East Coast, Sandy came and destroyed much of the infrastructure we were told, so the LTE technology hasn't really been working as we wish and we told it would. With recent mergers, it may be true that these "small" big companies don't "have the financial resources to compete against...larger players [(Verizon, AT&T)], nor the suite of offerings to attract customers who can get a whole host of services from other rivals. As a result, both sides believe that the only way to remain relevant is to combine."

I have had Sprint for over 10 years and I like Sprint, my service is fine, and the price that I pay is great. I hope this does not change if this deal gets past the antitrust regulators.
