Why is my Sprints 3g speed faster than 4G Lte?

[el_oh_el]

Sprint has too many customers and not enough backhaul...

I been thinking of getting a refurbished phone from t-mobile later on and having them buy out my sprint contract. i dont wanna pay half of the retail cost of a brand new phone...

I live in NYC and I can't stand Sprint. Data coverage is spotty as fukk. I've used GPS to get somewhere then couldn't get a signal to get back. Had to drive in circles for 15 mins before it connected. Thinking of jumping to tmobile

I just made the switch 2 weeks ago, was with Sprint for 14yrs, had me rockin a HTC Evo 3D on their crappy 4G network, you had to be outside to take advantage of that. Bought the Galaxy S5 and signed up with Verizon, 4G LTE fast service everywhere, night and day difference. One of the things I hated about Sprint was they marketed 4G LTE phone (HTC EVO 4G LTE) more than a year before the network was available, so you were stuck with a phone that could only do 3G at the time, since the phone didn't support the existing 4G Wimax network. Now I just found out that the S5 has a 3rd antenna to support the 4G XLTE network that is coming from Verizon.

Verizon XLTE.....Whoa!!! - xda-developers

Shut is nuts. Takes over a minute to load a page with 4G on and 10 secs with 3g on. I gotta turn Lte off to do any surfing, then back on again to watch a movie.

Got a year and a half more then i'm just gonna pay the 20 bucks more for Verizon

The G stands for "Generation" so 4G does not necessarily mean its better than 3G
That is when talking about different phone carriers. You are talking about the same carrier so what I said shouldn't apply

So, next attempt at helping you is to remind you that companies like T-mobile will pay for your early termination fee if you wanted to jump ship TODAY

Left Sprint a couple years ago after nearly a decade on their service and I'll never look back.
