Just when Sprint was getting its mojo back, it is experiencing a bump today as its voice network is down citywide in New York, according to recent reports. The bit of good news is that the data (3G and 4G) part of the network still works normally. Sprint says that it is experiencing some issues with “equipment that has failed” and that a previous repair made things actually worse.
I’m not questioning the robustness of Sprint’s network at this point, but this is definitely not something that will inspire confidence to potential customers who are currently complaining about AT&T’s network. Hopefully Sprint will fix this soon. In you wonder, today’s outage doesn’t seem related to the successful launch of the HTC EVO 4G, Sprint’s new hot phone. Don’t miss our HTC EVO Review by the way.

Sprint voice and text have also been down in the greater Boston and Metro West area since about 6 pm. I use my phone for business and am on the phone constantly. Major inconvenience and possibly lost work. Have had many issues with sprint/nextel over the past 10 years. Might be time to make a switch. Any recommendations?
