Sprint tied for #1 in overall network
performance, but only Sprint offers Cut Your Bill in Half
Sprint has finished in a tie for first place as the top ranked
overall wireless network in Indianapolis, according to independent
mobile analytics firm RootMetrics®. The new analysis shows Sprint
in a dead heat for #1 in overall wireless network performance.
This is the first time Sprint has had a shared win for overall
network performance in Indianapolis. This testing marks the eighth
time RootMetrics has tested Indianapolis, with the last test
occurring in November 2014.
“Indianapolis is a great city and it deserves a great network –
we are proud to deliver just that,” said Marcelo Claure, Sprint
CEO. “Making sure our customers have the best service is our #1
priority and there’s never been a better time to join Sprint.”
Sprint Tied for #1 Network in Indianapolis
Sprint also tied for #1 in reliability, call and text
performance, with zero blocked calls during testing. RootMetrics
drove a total of 1,247 miles and conducted more than 25,000 tests
in Indianapolis.
Sprint has relentlessly focused on building and fine-tuning the
network in Indianapolis. The company added hundreds of new 2.5GHz
cell sites, and expanded its 1.9GHz and 800MHz 4G LTE coverage.
Sprint’s network teams systematically optimized each cell site to
maximize overall performance, coverage, capacity and speed.
In addition, Sprint improved service and upgraded the wireless
systems in high-traffic areas such as Lucas Oil Stadium and the
Indiana Convention Center. The company also supported the
Indianapolis 500 and will be supporting the upcoming Indiana State
Fair by bringing in additional capacity.
But what about Sprint’s network across the nation? That’s also
getting better every day. According to RootMetrics, in 113 markets
measured in the first half of 2015, Sprint has been awarded a total
of 162 first place (outright or shared) RootScore® Awards for
overall, reliability, speed, data, call, or text network
performance.1 Those numbers sound even more impressive when
compared to last year’s results. In these same 113 markets, Sprint
achieved 25 first-place award wins in the first half of 2014.
“Wireless connectivity is a key driver of economic and civic
progress,” said Dr. John Saw, Sprint’s Chief Network Officer.
“We’re pleased to give Indianapolis a great network, one that fully
enables entertainment, communication and collaboration across the
city, our workplaces and our homes.”
Indianapolis, Cut Your Bill in Half!
In addition to offering the area’s top-ranked overall wireless
network in a tie, Sprint offers the “Cut Your Bill in Half Event.”
When current Verizon and AT&T customers bring their wireless
bill and their old phones to Sprint, the company will cut their
monthly rate plan in half.2 Yes…in half. It’s never been easier to
switch to Sprint!
