I was not talking about service.....If anything sprints service is excellent, and Ive read forums of people saying their data transfers slow as well as their internet lags and is also slow. When I have fast internet and download and data speeds. I actually loaded up quicker on my instinct ( in opera mini ) the internet page than my friends I-Phone... I was speaking about downsizing and how they cut channels but do not cut the price. I was making the point that sprint downsized staff...i.e. techs, reps, service, programmers ect. so they must of gave up contracts with these company's to broadcast their footage, as well as downsized the budget involved in the t.v. feature of the sprint network. I would Imagine most of these company's will make it thru this recession, but i guess in some way Its the "American" way to nickel and dime you.

nickle and dime is right, and I can see them trying to save money. but does anyone really think we will get these or other just as good chanels back even if the economy recovers, I don't think so.

Geez.....go to ATT and add up what the same plan without TV would cost. For me 154 bucks. That is 54 bucks more than I am paying Sprint. Bottom line, I do believe that Sprint should have announced the changes in a different manner but really, does the average person do the majority of their TV watching on a 2 inch screen. If you do -wow that must surely suck. Anyway, Sprint can take away all of the TV channels and I wouldn't leave nor will I call them to discuss it. The fact that I have great internet speed and I can send all the text messages that I want, talk all day and all night, and use my phone as a modem when in a pinch are enough to keep me happy! I remain amazed that this discussion has stretched to 5 pages.
