Sprint today launched its Spark service in 17 new markets scattered around the country. Spark uses three different spectrum bands to ensure the best possible LTE connection and speed. The new markets include Sacramento, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; Bay City, Flint, Midland, and Saginaw, Mich.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Henderson, N.C.; Cleveland, Columbus, Mount Vernon, New Philadelphia, Tiffin, and Youngstown, Ohio; Ogden, Utah; Seattle, Wash.; and Sheboygan, Wisc. Sprint says Spark is available in 46 markets and will meet its goal of covering 100 million POPs by the end of the year. Sprint sells 38 devices that are compatible with Spark.
This is exactly what they need to do
Their plans are competitive enough, they need to focus on the network....every single dollar they have needs to be spent building and improving the network, introduce LTE to more markets, introduce coverage in more markets etc.
I can tell you this as I shared once before with everyone. Sprint's transitional period was horrid. Dropped calls and inability to connect at times were a atrocious. Now that my area is 95% complete, it shows they've been spending the money.

Focus on one thing at a time
It'd be nice if they'd focus on finishing the roll out of LTE! First! Sprint still does not have LTE in Santa Fe the Capital city of the damn state. It amazes me that they do so much business here with only 3g 😡
They are! Spark is part of the LTE rollout.
Awesome!
The Bay City-Saginaw-Midland-Flint market is my home market! Awesome to see Michigan's first Spark market is there! Odd though that Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Kalamazoo weren't launched first...
What speeds are you getting?
