....The EVDO network really took a beating within the last 2 years from these types of arrangements I think, not to mention the iPhone I guess. I have to wonder what sort of QoS there is on the network between a Sprint subscriber and all of these other services who use it. Maybe they dont care?
They do QoS very well. I have kids using Virgin Mobile and it can be a very different experience depending. For sure 3g data is very 2nd class for MVNO's.
Not every site employs this but at O'Hare airport (we live in the Chicago area), Sprint's cell sites use dynamic PRL's to shunt off Virgin (and presumably all MVNO's) when conditions warrant. I've witnessed my daughters VM phone go from full signal to no signal in an instant as cell sites become invisible. -- Jeff Howe Jeff's Blog - »www.ostjournal.net
