    How often do outages occur on the Sprint system and how long do they
    usually last? I am noticing what appears to be a growing trend toward
    outages in my area.

    Thanks,
    Earl

    Voice?
    1) I have NEVER had a TOTAL outage in my area... (TOTAL meaning withoug
    service for more that 15 minutes)
    2) But, I have notice when they take a tower down and signal is weaker...
    3) I have had wierd thing happen once in a while:
    A) All attempts to call out fail or your get a 'fast busy'
    B) All attempts of people toc call you roll to voice mail, for all
    Sprint phones in the area.
    - I attribure that to some sort of routing problem....

    Data/Vision
    1) One time in the last 6 mos. there was something screwy in parts of the
    937 area for 1-1.5 days
    2) Once after a MAJOR storm and usage was heavy there were problems....
    3) Sometimes 'in the dark of night' on weekends, I will notice that they are
    doing something, as there will be brief outages. Must be 'change' time,
    where system changes are installed.

    Clovis, New Mexico

    Several times in the recent weeks I've had TOTAL outages, where I was
    roaming in my home town.

    Last one lasted for perhaps 10 or 12 hours! Totally out, no service
    anywhere in town. Well, roaming worked, so it was strictly Sprint that was
    out.

    In my last days with Sprint, I didn't notice outages so much as I
    noticed a general degradation in coverage and signal quality. My
    neighbor still has Sprint, hanging on desperately because he had just
    signed a new two eyar contract, and apparently there still has been no
    improvement.
