Sprint has been working to improve coverage, reliability and speed nationwide through its massive Next-Gen Network plan. This has resulted in a 36.4% increase in national average download speeds year over year.6 And, thanks to roaming agreements, Sprint now offers 30% more total LTE data coverage nationwide than before to help customers connect in more locations.

New Advertising Campaign

To help spread the word for its new 100% Total Satisfaction Guarantee, Sprint kicked off a new advertising campaign featuring Paul Marcarelli, one of the most famous wireless customers to switch to Sprint.

The straightforward TV spot highlights the fact that wireless doesn’t need to be complicated or tricky (like some other companies make it seem in their ads). Sprint is doing things differently. Now is your chance to decide for yourself and see the savings. And, if you don’t love it, get your money back. See, simple! Watch the ad here:
