Enough! Sprint is downright terrible. Months of excuses of upgrading towers 4-5 dropped calls PER DAY I live in the middle of the city, yet can't get reception in my house or around it. I switched to Verizon and had zero reception issues in the same spots. Don't believe anything the reps tell you, the problem with Sprint will not be getting better any time in the near future. Instead of spending money sponsoring Nascar events, why don't you spend that money and give rebates to the customers you've been robbing for over a year.

Sprint is unusable downtown! Each time I call customer service for an update on the so-called 'tower upgrades', they tell me all will be fixed in (then they tell me a date 2 months out)... never fails! Today I'm canceling.. enough is enough! Sprint... You are dead to me! Dropped Calls... Check No Data... Check Clueless Customer Service... . Check Rude Customer Service... .. Check Dead to Me?... .. Check!

horrible to say the least. I have brightspot though and the coverage is really horrible. I am not sure if T-Mobile is short changing Brightspot

I have US Cellular and have almost never had a problem with finding coverage of at least a minimum status, even when going to school in PA I could call and send / receive texts and emails from inside and outside any building I wanted to. Now that I moved to Minneapolis I completely lost all tower. I know I was in roaming but now my phone won't even do that, all it says is SOS instead of tower bars, and all I can do is make emergency calls from it! Clearly, you cannot have US Cellular in the Twin Cities.

We've had Sprint for years and because the service has gotten so terrible, we're dropping our service with Sprint. I can't even count how many dropped calls I get every day (on the road in the metro area and at home). Lot's of promises from Sprint about upgrading their coverage but it's been terrible for quite some time. Everyone I'm talking to just knows that when the call drops, I'll call them again (and again, and again, and again... ). No more, we're switching to Verizon.

I have had pretty good luck with T-Mobile throughout the twin cities. Bad data coverage at work in Bloomington (494 and Hwy. 100), but otherwise I've been pretty happy. In general I've had good luck. Any issues have been data signal strength. I've never had issues with dropped calls. Friends who visit with Sprint (and I think Verizon too) have much more trouble getting reception at my house).

Terrible / awful / horrendous / are you kidding me it's so effing bad kind of data service in downtown Minneapolis. You want to do a quick google search? good luck getting a result back within any reasonable time(if you are lucky), because most likely you will get something similar to 'could not connect to internet' message. Stream music without constant stop and go? haha--u make me laugh. Despite all their promises and there constant 'working on network upgrade' messages, I don't even pretend to understand how the service can be so bad in the heart of downtown. Should it not be common sense that you plan for heavier traffic in areas like these? Is a 2 month old in the charge of planning / designing / deployment / service quality? (Apologies to all 2 month old everywhere). Why the heck am I paying oodles of money for this kind of bs service? bcos, unfortuntaly, Sprint from a monetary perspective, does offer a decent value (relatively speaking, compared to what is availble to us here in the U.S.). And there are areas where service has become usable, and even has some 4G here and there. But the whole thing with Sprint... my goodness, their network is just poopier than my 2 year old's dirtiest of the dirties diaper you can think of after a thaksgivig meal. And I am stupid, cos here I am, still waiting for their promised 'network improvement coming soon' bs. It's all my fault, really.

Sprints data and cellular service is horrendous in downtown Minneapolis. In my office internet is slow, streaming music no chance. 4G never works usually on 3G or 1X, even went to the Sprint store on Nicollet mall and a few employees complained about how bad it is as well. My work phone is Verizon and gets great data service in the same spots. Both are IPhone 5s and I hate That Sprint can't get it right thru all these promises of great plans.

Sprint sucks. Every time I make a call, the call gets dropped. I can't even get 4g in my apartment, and I only get 2 or 3 bars for 3g reception. I made the biggest mistake leaving Verizon. Once my contract is up, I am leaving.
