Is sprint internet the fastest ?


My contract with T-mobile expired today.

I need a phone that I can use as modem to get on internet on my laptop.

Currently, I only pay $5.99/mo for the T-mobile data plan but speeds are too slow..I know sprint, Verizon, ATT have good speeds.

So, question is:

Which network provider has the fastest internet speeds ?

I'm basically choosing between sprint, verizon and ATT ...just want to know which one you all recommend out of the 3

Giving information of when 4G was developed in "beta" stage for testers to see what it's reaction will be compared to 3G as MANY MANY MANY users want that cable connection of 100mbps on their phone, it will get to that point one day but carriers are comparing and playing cards with each other and looking to see what people will say and if it's worth forking the money at their advertisers and testers to continue with.

I can't post links as my post count is 4 and I need 5 more to be able to do this. Anywho, if you type in Google.com "4G mobile internet" you will find when it was established and who is the premier worker in this development. Hope this helps.

That has nothing to do with Sprint.

Yes, Sprint is pretty fast. EV-DO Rev.A is on most of their network now. If you get a Sero plan, SERO Welcome! "savings@sprintemi.com", you get PDA and cell phone data for free.

Re: Is sprint internet the fastest ?


They say it depends on the phone, My internet was a lot fast on my sprint treo 755p, than my sprint treo 700p. Now with this sprint samsung KILLER INSTINCT, its support to be a lot faster than the treo 755p/iphone, But for some reason with my INSTINCT..I see no difference than the internet on my sprint treo 755p.

I think out of all the carriers if you were put into a perfect situation ATT would proabaly have the quickest speeds if you are in one of their small 3G areas that is.

Re: Is sprint internet the fastest ?


I don't think anyone can generalize and give you an answer as to which carriers' 3g is the fastest. It all depends on the phone you use, as well as the area you are in. Every carriers has markets where 3g speeds are better/worse, depending on the network setup, backhaul and network use. If you give us an area where you plan on using your 3g service we can probably help you out better.

If I had to chose a 3g service today, I would not consider at&t because of their lack of 3g coverage outside of large metro areas.

This is the maximum speed they will never ever use that it is cut down to the 1.3-1.4mb area as well. Just because they say that speed does not mean you are going to throttle that high.

Re: Is sprint internet the fastest ?


Use this to find out what speeds are available in your area Sprint - Nationwide Coverage and on the right side of the page there is a button that says "data, email and multimedia" click that and then put in your address at the top of the page, and you will see what kind of connectivity are in your area.... after the data box expands, click on the word "speeds" above the color codes and it will bring up a pop-up telling the approximate speeds you will see in a given area... now remember if you are roaming on US cellular then you will have the slowest of their roaming partners, which US Cellular's data runs at a max of 56kbps (dial-up speed).

Hope this helps, Chris
