It is from personal experience and stories from everybody I know who uses sprint.
Examples include getting my service disconnected with $160 early contract
cancelation fees because I switch to a new plan. Every billing cycle for four
months, they'd disconnect me even though I'd call 2 days prior to see if
everything was OK. One month, they blocked calls from my hard line because I
was a an unhappy customer flag on my account.
Sprint is incapable of fixing account errors in less than 4 sessions.
Both a friend and I had to spend over 3 hours on the phone fixing sprint's
****up when they switched billing systems. The lacked the ability to take the
list of account features from before the switchover and set up the new system
the same. Sprint is incapable of doing anything offline; the customer must be
on the phone while they do their amazingly slow work.
When I visit colorado, there is a house where I get 4 out of 5 bars signal
strength, but their data service can't download a 17K web page without timeouts
and truncating. It is as if there's a network cable being connected and
disconnected. Travel a mile and a half in any direction and I get perfect
service. I know to the quarter mile when I switch over to the next tower and
get data service again. I reported it everytime I visit the area and 7 reports
still haven't gotten it fixed. I tire of sitting on the phone for hours at a
time while the idiot tech's tell me to reboot my phone and how to clear the
browser's cache. They couldn't troubleshoot a car that has run out of gas.
CS simply doesn't get any worse.

If a poll measured sprint as anything but the worse possible CS, the poll's
statistical methods are faulty.

Nope. With a large degree of certainty I know that no such block
exists.

So that was what? No less than 8 months ago, as the billing conversion
was completed earlier this year.

Yet they have completed many offline requests on my wife's account
without a problem.

You do realize that bars of signal strength have absloutely nothing to
do with the network capability to handle data requests, don't you?

And no other carrier will consider the occasional complaint by a single
user as reason to send a network tech out for a single tower.

And you just proved that you didn't even bother to click the provided
link. The survey had nothing to do with anything you just complained
about. So, on top of being bitter about things that happened at least
eight months ago (probably longer based on your complaint) and making up
claims of a phantom block on your phone number (which is against FTC
regulations), you have no clue as to what the survey was even about.
It must suck to go through life so bitter and clueless. And before you
go complaining about me being an employee or someone with a vested
interest in the company, neither would be a valid claim so don't waste
the bandwidth.

Oh really? You visited my household and verified that their menu sustem

Lovely. You think it is normal for a conversion ****up to take 4 months
and 3 hours. I have to see what you consider to be poor customer
service.

No I don't. It means that their cell tower puts out a strong signal
but their data network service is broken. It can do 256KB/second, but
still can't do 17K without fatal errors due an intermittant connection.

I have to see where you claimed it took four months and 3 hours. I only
see three hours mentioned and based on what I see here, the length of
the call was proabaly out of their control.

Lucky? No. Able to communicate effectively and respectfully? Much more

And I have no reason to comment on the asshole comment. Coming from

It's called change. It's called Improvement. Everything Changes. Nothing
is static. I'm not saying you didn't have your experiences, But Mine are
the exact opposite. maybe things have CHANGED. which is the point of the
article.

Not my experience. Their CS still insists on running useless network
checks instead of actually sending a service vehicle out to check a
reported problem. The company doesn't seem to have the ability to
procure a vehicle, a tech with a drivers license, and a phone with a
web browser to check out a reported problem. They are incapable of
fixing anything without subjecting the reporting customer to wait on
the phone.
The technology known as defect tracking and management is outside
sprint's technical skills. If they were capable of operating such a
system, they'd be able to enter a trouble ticket, and fix it without
requring the reporting customer to sit on the line.
