Wrong regarding the 1900 Mhz Network. GSM netowrks in other countries such
as England are 1800 MHz. 1800 Mhz has virtually the same penetration
characteristics as 1900 Mhz. Englans's 1800 Mhz Network is deployed very
well. Sprint has a great network, they just need to improve their customer
service.

If I remember correctly, according to what some people were
posting in this group, CDMA on 1900 MHz handles more calls per site,
faster data, and handles better multi-path than 800 MHz. So, I guess,
verizon might want to buy Sprint PCS to get more 1900 MHz spectrum.

Its more a function of CDMA regardless of the frequency.

Why did you cut my repsonse here. Sprint isn't using COnvergys for the
great majority of their customers.

You cut it because you never could handle the truth, mindless troll.

I know I'm spot on when all I get answered by is a silly childish
insult.

Read the follow-on comments by other CSRs describing chapter and verse
how bad it is, how after they suffer through all
the pressure to upsell, they dont get their promised bonuses. It's
even worse than I posted.,

No- you got the insult because you are an idiot. Your "claims" are not
backed up by your links.

You mean FORMER CSRs. And they mention nothing of the things you claimed
and then clipped (because you got caught making things up).

Not one word from a Sprint shill trying to suggest a Sprint comeback
about putting their money where their mouth is by buying Sprint stock.
