AT&T in DC.
I have a Sprint/Nextel as a work phone, and on a good day you are lucky to get your calls to connect. On a normal day, no direct connect or inbound calls.I was just in DC this weekend and my Sprint signal was pretty terrible. Two bars was the norm, which means about 1 Mb/s for me... a bit surprising because I get great signal around smaller cities around here.
If you have a Nextel PTT phone, you don't use Sprint's network. Nextel branded phones still use iDEN while Sprint uses CDMA. Not saying Sprint's coverage doesn't suck in DC Metro area anyway, but Nextel's is likely much worse.I have a Sprint/Nextel as a work phone, and on a good day you are lucky to get your calls to connect.

Good thing I don't need to upload much...
I don't use torrents, but I respect/understand your concernsYou better be seeding those TG eps to 1:1 ratio at least ?_?

It is a Sprint CDMA+PCS with PTT/DC. Sucks either way.If you have a Nextel PTT phone, you don't use Sprint's network. Nextel branded phones still use iDEN while Sprint uses CDMA. Not saying Sprint's coverage doesn't suck in DC Metro area anyway, but Nextel's is likely much worse.
I try to avoid torrenting, but sometimes it's just impossible to seed to a good ratio with this kind of connection. When there are more seeds than peers, and all the seeds have better upload than me, I could be there forever.
