Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / January 2006City Level Outages Monthly for SPCS!
Looking over the posts in acs, sprint has a major outage, at least citywide, once a month. Now if we check for outages starting on a Monday, you get a good idea if these are related to weekend "upgrades" or just plain lousy service. Vision, VM, website, combined, something crashes big time monthly. JG Why don't you just move-on and get-over whatever wrong that you believe Sprint has done to you? Your posts do not interest anyone in this newsgroup. I would suggest that if you have an issue with Sprint, you should contact the better business bureau rather than whining incessantly in this newsgroup.

Strange how a google search of ACS shows monthly reports by posters of outages that appear to be city wide.

Your unscientific approach is laughable, as most of your posts are. And the newspaper thing?

Hey, can you do an outage > check for Electric companies as well? :) That was just a sample from a Google search "Sorted by relevance". Sort by date for "outage" and a little reading will show CITYWIDE outages on average, once a month. North, South, red, blue states: S sure doesn't discriminate.

What a goldmine of information. What percentage of outages does this represent? How does it compare to other carriers? Do you have any information on other carriers? How does this pattern compare to landline telephone, DSL, ISP's and cable entertainment providers? Of course, I don't expect you to answer any of these questions with even the slightest bit of information. Beside it being way above your limited comprehension level, answering them truthfully would seriously deflate the hard-on you have for Sprint. And it would make the conspiracy theories you have concocted seem even less believable than they are now. But thanks for posting- I need that ocassional reminder that the uneducated lunatic fringe is still alive and well. >> >> >Mar 11 2003, 11:32 pm by Steve Crow - 1 message - 1 author >> >> [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > brings the > one city per month average already...JG Three instances, is that all you've got? Vision down in two of those three? I remember those posts and it was not that big of deal. Vision was down for a day or so, but it had no effect on voice calling. As mentioned, all wireless carriers experience outages, and the above were very minimal incidents. Bob |
