Business Wire
With top scores for Call Performance and
Network Reliability, plus 50% of most competitor’s rate plans, now
is the perfect time to switch to Sprint
Sprint today announced that its network in Philadelphia, PA
received a 1st place ranking for Call Performance and a shared 1st
place ranking in Network Reliability according to a new
RootScore® Report by independent mobile analytics firm
RootMetrics®.
This marks the first time Sprint has won the award for Call
Performance outright and the second time it shared the award for
Network Reliability in the past year.
“We work incredibly hard every day to improve our network in
order to deliver the consistent reliability and performance that
our customers demand,” said Karen Paletta, Sprint Regional
President. “These awards reinforce the fact that there has never
been a better time to switch to Sprint.”
Network performance in Philadelphia has continued to improve
with the addition of new cell sites, increased coverage and
capacity, and systematic optimization of each cell site to maximize
performance. During testing RootMetrics was also able to experience
Sprint’s carrier aggregation technology on the 2.5GHz spectrum band
which has been added to 128 sites across the market in the past 12
months. Sprint has also made strategic improvements to the sites
which cover Lincoln Financial Field and the Wells Fargo Center.
