ACor58 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The backbone is provided by Sprint. The Sprint coverage sucks in Rochester, not sure how it is in the rest of WNY. Prices seem a little high... http://mobile.espn.go.com/espnmobile/confi...eplandetails.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinter21 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Sprint < RJ 597031[/snapback] in some cases but it really depends on the phone you use too. sometimes the really high end phones with all th eunnecessary features have a drawback on reception. so its really perception. i started on sprint in fall 01 then switched to verizon august 04 horrible service by verizon in roch and at my school(purdue) so i switched back and no problems since. i even get reception in my basement of my dorm. most verizon and cingular people in my dorm are even lucky they get a signal by the entrances of their dorms. i get a clear 3 bar signal in my dorm which the whole building is solid concrete.

I would drop calls on my Cingular phone all of the time and was lucky to get a signal with Sprint in certain areas, especially apartment buildings for some reason. Maybe their Network has gotten stronger since the acquired Nextel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochester independent testing has rated them #1 every year. You may have a cell site close by your school but if you ever drove around the state you would understand why verizon is #1 plus Verizon has generators in 95% of there cell sites. Sprint has limited generators. You loose power you have NO service. I could go on and on but it would be easier for your Daddy to go to work for Verizon.........................

Their news stuff is a bunch of novices reading off a teleprompter trying to sound and look as if they aren't reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both suck so badly yet they are continually force fed to us by that channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
