We're not talking about voice coverage, we're talking about data coverage. Specifically, 3G EV-DO data coverage.

So, about those two words. Coverage - well, we've been over this. As it stands right now, Sprint's EV-DO footprint is larger, covers more people, more airpots and more cities. So, uh, what was that about Verizon and data coverage again?

Second word - reliability. There are no published reports of data reliability. Remember, we're not talking about voice coverage here.

So, it looks like I'm paying less for.... more? Once again, check www.dslreports.com/mspeed and check sprint's average speeds compared to every other provider. Faster. Lower latency.

I'm glad those two words keep you warm at night. Really, I am. Who am I to tell you how to spend your money? But, dude, don't lie to my face.

PS - Read the Sprint T&C. "Sprint PCS Vision. Not avai'l where use is in connection with server devices or host computer applications, other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitutes for private lines or frame relay connections."

Exceprt from Verizon's T&C, for comparison:

"The Unlimited Data Plans and Features MAY NOT be used for any other purpose. Examples of prohibited uses include, without limitation, the following: (i) continuous uploading, downloading or streaming of audio or video programming or games; (ii) server devices or host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine–to–machine connections or peer–to–peer (P2P) file sharing; or (iii) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections."

Well, looks like you can't use a webcam on Sprint, either. Otherwise, though.... no restrictions.

How's the Kool-Aid?
