Ditching Verizon Wireless for Sprint:
The sweet data deal
"I was already itching to ditch Verizon (VZ).
My wife and I had switched from Sprint (S) two years ago, because Sprint service was spotty in the apartment where she lived before we got married. But it was time to switch back.
Two years back we got on a Verizon Wireless family plan and commenced to paying through the nose – between $155 and $170 per month, typically – for two lines with enoug...

I think it's funny how this guy is excited about how he's paying more money than he used to be. As soon as he gets used to their service he'll switch back.

I tend to agree with this, What's the big deal about Rev A, So what if Sprint launched it first or Verizon flooded the market.
