With a top-ranked network and best-value plans,
it’s a great time to switch to Sprint
Independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics® has just released
a new RootScore® Report showing Sprint is in a dead heat for 1st
place in overall network performance, as well as call and text
network performance in Boise.
This is the first time Sprint has received a win for overall
network performance in Boise. This testing marks the sixth time
RootMetrics has tested Boise, with the last test occurring in May
2015.
“Boise is a beautiful city and a great place to live and work,”
said Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. “We’re proud to provide our
customers with an exceptional network and there’s never been a
better time to join the Sprint family.”
Top-Ranked Network in Boise
RootMetrics drove a total of 760 miles and conducted 15,452
tests in Boise. During testing Sprint recorded zero blocked or
dropped calls. RootMetrics was also able to experience Sprint’s
newly deployed carrier aggregation technology on the 2.5GHz
spectrum band. This feature of LTE-Advanced essentially creates a
wider lane that allows more traffic to travel at higher rates,
enabling Sprint to provide Boise customers with even faster data
speeds.
In addition to deploying some of the most advanced technologies
in wireless, Sprint has relentlessly focused on expanding and
fine-tuning the network in Boise. In the past year, the company
added 27 new 2.5GHz cell sites and increased its 1.9GHz and 800MHz
4G LTE coverage. Sprint’s network teams then systematically
optimized each new cell site to maximize overall performance,
coverage, capacity and speed. Sprint also improved service and
added additional capacity to the indoor wireless system at BSU
Albertson Stadium.

In addition to offering a top-ranked network in Boise, Sprint
offers the best value for individuals and families. Individuals can
get unlimited high-speed data, talk and text for $70 per month.1

text and 40GB of high-speed data to share while on the Sprint
