    I average from 5mbps to 25mbps on ATT in Chicago so not much difference really. I'd always welcome more speed but 5-6mbps gets the job done on mobile.

      The thing I noticed when comparing plans is how they advertise talk vs data. When putting together a full plan and then reviewing what the final cost is after taxes and fees, there were barely any savings anywhere. AT&T has a 6% higher work discount than Verizon. But AT&T applies the discount within the voice plan where Verizon applied it to the overall account, so that 6% savings really came out to like 1%.

        I'm surprised by those numbers. ATT and VZ usually pretty close on speeds in most major markets.

        I average 25-40 at home but as I get closer to town and around my work area it's around 45-69.

              Switched yesterday. Coverage is good. Average LTE test out at 25mbps.

              $40 for unlimited everything.

              Popped the sprint chip into unlocked nexus 5 and worked like a charm.

                That's a good deal! Hope you researched LA coverage. Should be generally good in the city, I think. Boonies may be a different story.

                    Fb if you bring in your current cell bill sprint will "cut your bill in half" with the promotion they are running. Worth a shot.

                      Yea, this is a good site to check coverage for different areas. Sprint is full LTE in LA an surrounding area. http://opensignal.com/coverage-maps/US/

                            I don't know that Sprint is the greatest around here. It could be better these days, but it sure used to have a terrible reputation. And my bill is more than twice $40, lol

                              No it hasn't had a great reputation for a long time but everything I read in my research says they have spent tons of money in the last few years buying up different bands and coverage areas expanding etc..

                              Check that site I posted and look at your area. That will tell you which companies have best coverage.

                                Didn't realize how good of a deal I got actually. Was just looking at the different rates. For the package that I have Sprint charges $60 a month for unlimited everything.

                                I was lucky enough to have a friend who knew someone at Sprint that was able to put me in the Wireless Advantage Program. I knew it was a discount but I figured it was just a few bucks off per month or something. Didn't realize it was $20 dollars off per month! That's badass! And because I already had my nexus that works on any of the providers I didn't even have to pay the $36 activation fee.

                                Sprint / Sprint Wireless Advantage Club

                                *Advantage Club customers can get unlimited talk, text and data for smartphones at $40 a month*
