Sprint Named Boston's Most Reliable Network in PC World's 3G Comparison Tests
The Now Network(TM) not only beat AT&T and Verizon in reliability, it connected 100 percent of the time in Greater Boston.
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.-- A 3G comparison test by PC World found Sprint (NYSE:S) as the more reliable network over Verizon and AT&T in 13 cities examined by the magazine, including a perfect connection score in Boston. These results provide further support for Sprint’s “most dependable 3G network” claim.
The PC World tests took place in March and April this year in 13 major markets across the country. In each location, testers measured download speed, upload speed and reliability. In Boston, Sprint was the only carrier to connect 100 percent of the time. Verizon and AT&T both had 90 percent connection rates. In every market, Sprint bested AT&T for reliability.
The PC World results also show Sprint’s commitment to network performance is paying off for the company’s customers. Today, according to customers and third-party reports, Sprint’s networks have never been better, with these results serving as further confirmation that Sprint operates the nation’s most dependable 3G broadband network.1
In addition, Sprint is leading the way in next generation 4G service. Sprint launched 4G service in Baltimore in late 2008 and expects to launch it in several major markets in 2009. 4G will bring the Internet to life for mobile users by offering a faster Internet experience in more cities across the nation than any other wireless service from a national carrier.
Sprint customers also enjoy the best value in the industry with a dynamic suite of Everything plans that allow customers to use their phones the way they want without worrying about their wireless bills. For example, Sprint’s Simply EverythingSM plan provides unlimited nationwide calling, texting, email, Web browsing, GPS navigation and much more for only $99.99 per month. That’s a savings of $1,200 over the course of two years vs. a comparable AT&T iPhone® plan.2
