A top performing network and Cut Your Bill in
Half offer make it a great time to switch to Sprint
Sprint today announced that its Rockford network shares a
first-place ranking for overall network performance, as well as
reliability, call and text performance according to a new
RootScore® Report by independent mobile analytics firm
RootMetrics®.
Since RootMetrics’ previous test in August, Sprint’s median
download speed increased from 9.9 Mbps to 16.8 Mbps, and Sprint’s
median upload speed increased from 5.1 Mbps to 7.8 Mbps.
“We’ve been working locally on network improvements aimed at
delivering the consistent reliability, capacity, and speed that our
Rockford customers demand,” said Joe Meyer, vice president of
Sprint Network Performance. “With our new low-cost pricing plans,
there’s never been a better time to give Sprint a try.”
In addition to offering a strong performing network, Sprint is
committed to providing consumers the best value in wireless. With
the Cut Your Bill in Half Event, Sprint will cut in half the
monthly rate plan for Verizon and AT&T customers who
switch to Sprint. The new offer provides unlimited talk and text to
anywhere in the U.S. while on the Sprint network – regardless of a
customer’s current plan – and matches the customer’s data allowance
for half the cost they are currently paying for their monthly rate
plan.1 Sprint will pay up to $350 per line via an American Express
Reward Card for a customer’s early termination fee or installment
bill balance when they switch. Once a customer has received the
final bill from the other carrier, he or she may simply register
for the American Express Reward Card at sprint.com/join2015.2
