Sprint
Calls seem to work fine, but I don't make many of those. Texts can be slow to send. Data coverage is often very bad, but it depends on the time of day and day of the week. The worst is weekday afternoons when the largest amount of people are in Downtown Minneapolis. There doesn't even need to be a special event going on--just the normal amount of people will cause data to drop out. The data network often goes down to 3G level and sometimes doesn't work at all. However, when fewer people are Downtown, such as weekends, evenings, and early in the morning, then the data works fine.

Bad reception for 5 months, drops every other phone call. Of the calls that go thru the other end says they can't make out my words. Called Verizon a few times and just hung with a supervisor. He confessed that it has to do with the new stadium and will not resolve until construction ends. He said the City of MPLS is at fault. Further he said many people have the same problem. I told him they cannot charge for a service they cannot provide, probably illegal. He said they will not give any credit for lack of service period and further he gave me an address if I would like to have my lawyer contact them. WOW. I'm thinking of doing it.

Weak-ish signal in basement, but calls rarely drop. Have experiences missed calls due to reception. Upstairs is far better. Data is typically pretty fast. I work in Golden Valley (394 and 100) and don't have any reception issues either. However, Roseville and West St. Paul are atrocious for data (i.e. no connection whatsoever).

I get around 40-70mbps down at my apartment. While T-Mobile is not the best out in the country, in the city, they do awesome!

6 months of dropped calls on business cell line, can't take the BS lies and double talk by Customer Care. Make some room Verizon. Sprint has Absolute worst all around service ever, I've had cell service with Sprint for 17 years, no bill credit, no forgiveness on early termination nothing nada zip. Sprint should be shut down forever. CLASS ACTION SUIT! Minneapolis Metro Area freaking blows donkey balls. We have a shared plan with 5 lines, each phone on average costs $450.00 and the monthly bill is $330.00 per month we've been paying that for over 5 years prior to that I had unlimited everything and 3 lines and my bill was close to $400 per month paid that for about 7 years in the beginning I paid by the minute in the late 90's early 2000's my bill was consistently $400 to $600 per month, over the past 17 years I've paid Sprint close to $50,000 for cell service what a crock! What the hell are they doing with all that cash blowing it their noses. I pray the Feds step in and make them refund everyone's money since last October.

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 had T-Mobile for 2 years now and have had no issues with reception or data. I typically avg are 26 down. I stay in the greater twin cities area and there for the most part is no problem. They have a dead spot few and far between. The issues is when you live the heavily populated areas but I don't so, for where I spend my time T-Mobile is great.

Sprint customer service is awful. They have been lying to me about the "tower repairs" since October. Supervisors are worse than the phone banks - living in a world on denial. Guess they think we are all stupid and won't dump them. So very wrong! So sick of the dropped calls, crackling, and cutting out. I live one mile from a tower and can't get consistent service. Terrible, horrible, awful. Service is worthless.
