Important Coverage Information |
|
Sprint regularly measures the performance, coverage and speed of our 3G and 4G data networks in an effort to ensure our coverage maps are accurate and up to date. Users of the Sprint 4G network can expect to experience average speeds of 3Mbps to 6Mbps download and up to 1.5Mbps upload with an average latency of 150ms. On the Sprint 3G network, users can expect to experience average speeds of 600Kbps - 1.4Mbps download and 350Kbps - 500Kbps upload with an average latency of 400ms. While on the Nationwide Sprint Network you can expect to experience average speeds of 50Kbps - 70Kbps download and upload with an average latency of 800ms. The average speed and latency of our 4G and 3G networks are suitable for video and audio streaming, web browsing and other general Internet usage consistent with Sprint's terms and conditions. The average speed and latency on our Nationwide Sprint Network is suitable for web browsing and other light data applications. Speeds may vary considerably from these averages when users are on one of our roaming partner networks.
Our coverage maps and average speed and latency are high-level estimates when using your device outdoors under optimal conditions and are based on a combination of independent third-party testing and Sprint generated results. Coverage isn't available everywhere. Estimating wireless coverage and signal strength is not an exact science.
There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors both within and beyond our control (network problems, software, signal strength, your wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc.), will result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of services.
Services that rely on location information, such as E911 and GPS navigation, depend on your device's ability to acquire satellite signals (typically not available indoors) and network coverage. E911 services also depend on local emergency service provider systems/support. Estimated future coverage subject to change.
