    Sprint's CS has always ranked last.

    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

    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

    probably much more true than you could ever handle, Skippy.

    OK, Einstein, let's try this again, only I won't ask a question. THe
    number of bars on your phone has absolutely no bearing on whether or not

    Oh yeah- one more thing, Skippy. You conveniently forgot to post the

    the contents of the survey mentioned by the OP.

    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.
