I use the 3G Broadband that uses Sprint, Virgin Mobile. Each time the Tower goes out for Sprint, I pick up a Tower 12 miles south of Ranch or 9 miles east of the Ranch. If the tower works the signal strength is 5 bars, if the Towers out the signal strength near zero, zero bars, so I have to drive to another tower’s location with my laptop to access the internet. Dealing with Virgin Mobile's tech support in India or wherever in the world they are, takes about 7 days and 21 hours phone time, they keep they say just re-boot my PC and everything will be fine. They even sent an e-mail that said the same thing, how clever was that. I believe I saw Verizon work truck there, at the tower at I-30 and FM 36 on May 20 and figure and my opinion is it must be Verizon that is unplugging Sprint’s stuff. That was the day the tower also stopped working again, for the 3rd time since the first week of Feb 2011. It is a shared Tower with all Carriers on it. When it is unplugged, that means no 3G for all Sprint customers.
