Slightly OT but Sprint has gotten a lot better over the last couple of years, at least around here. For example, I get B41 LTE consistently at work now with ~30mbps speed tests according to my phone. That doesn't sound impressive compared to other carriers but considering that 3G pretty much didn't work at all a couple of years ago it's significant progress.

That said, Sprint was bad for so long that it will take a long time for people to start considering them again. I wouldn't be surprised if they have to completely change their branding/name once their network upgrades are 100% done.
