Sprint’s 4G LTE service expands into 70 new markets

By Mike Flacy Published December 16, 2013

Announced within an official Sprint press release earlier today, the wireless network provider has rolled out 4G LTE service in 70 new markets this month. While still lagging behind Verizon and AT&T in regards to total coverage within North America, the addition of major markets like San Diego, St. Louis and Orlando as well as many other areas will potentially help Sprint regain market share around the United States.

Speaking about the addition of the 70 new markets, Sprint chief network officer Bob Azzi said “In the growing number of markets where the upgrades are nearly complete, our customers are noticing. Re-engineering our entire network has been a big undertaking, but now it’s delivering tangible benefits to our customers.”

The sordid history of 5GE, or when 5G isn’t 5G at all

Hold holding three phones from three different carriers.

In the quest to deliver true 5G technology, wireless carriers have naturally been trying every angle they can to promote their own 5G services as superior to the competition. This has resulted in a confusing assortment of letters and symbols often appearing after the letters “5G” on your smartphone to suggest that you’re getting service that is somehow better than the norm.

While this may be true in some cases, there’s at least one exception where it means the exact opposite: AT&T’s “5GE” or “5G Evolution” isn’t what you probably think it is.

5G vs. 4G: How does the newest network improve on the last?

The fifth generation of mobile networking is here and getting more prominent by the day. Alongside the continuation and increasing popularity of pandemic-fueled remote working in 2022, 5G network coverage has expanded, accelerating its rollout throughout the U.S. and the world. All three major service providers now have nationwide networks, with plans to improve 5G offerings both in the home and via mobile in the next few years.

Already, 5G is changing the way we view and use technology. As it moves on it way to future ubiquity, it's time to learn about the current advantages of 5G, how it will coexist with 4G, and determine how to get the most out of it.
5G vs. 4G: Speed
In considering 5G speed, there are few specifics to pin down. Instead, we prefer to think of 5G in its early stages as offering more of a speed range. That's because the actual speeds you get depend on what wireless network you're connecting to, your location and how busy it is, and the device you're using. This table gives you a rough idea of the maximum speeds of each generation of cellular network technology and the average speeds in the real world.

T-Mobile delays shutdown of Sprint 3G CDMA network

Folks using Sprint’s legacy 3G CDMA network may have just won a slight reprieve, with a new report revealing that T-Mobile has pushed back the date of its shutdown by another two months. T-Mobile, which merged with Sprint in 2020, had planned to decommission the aging 3G network on March 31, 2022. However, The T-Mo Report has discovered that the carrier has quietly extended the deadline to May 31, 2022, instead.

The change initially came to light via a post on Reddit, where someone noticed the new date on the website of Softbank, which previously owned Sprint. Although T-Mobile hasn’t made a public announcement, The T-Mo Report confirmed that several Sprint customers with older phones received an email directly from the carrier. Those with phones that can’t use LTE were told that they now have until May 31, 2022, before the Sprint CDMA network shuts down. However, even this date may not be final. A footnote on the Softbank page adds that “there is a possibility that the date of May 31 will be rescheduled in [the] future.”
Sunsetting legacy 3G services
T-Mobile initially wanted to shut down the Sprint 3G network on January 1, 2022, but delayed it to March 31, when its partner, Dish, raised concerns that it didn’t have enough time to migrate its legacy customers over to the Boost Mobile network. When Sprint merged with T-Mobile in 2020, it was required to divest itself of its prepaid services, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, which were sold off to Dish to ensure the industry remained competitive. Regulators hoped that Dish could rise from the ashes of Sprint to take over the vacated fourth-place spot on the top carriers list.
