Sprint Availability

The Sprint Corporation was the fourth largest wireless operator in the United States and offered nationwide 4G LTE wireless service through their Sprint Network under a variety of brands including Sprint and Boost Mobile. Originally founded in Kansas in 1889 as the Brown Telephone Company, the company is was headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas and prior to it's merger with T-Mobile in 2020, employed approximately 28,500 nationwide.

In November 2019, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) gave conditional approval for a Sprint merger with T-Mobile US. The combined company stopped using the Sprint brand in August of 2020. Customer on the former Sprint network have full access to the combined T-Mobile US network. The combined company is one of the largest wireless carriers in the U.S. Part of the merger approval included the requirement that the merged company upgrade their LTE networks to 5G and make the service available to 97% of American households. This could significantly improve internet access for those living in rural areas and areas without reliable wired home internet. The building of their 5G network is ongoing and the Sprint Corporation already offers 5G service in select cities in the United States including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Forth Worth, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix and Washington D.C. Sprint is reporting speeds of up to 213 Mbps on their 5G connected areas, though theoretical 5G speeds are much faster and these networks are expected to improve over time.

Sprint Corporation had not offered wired home internet in the United States for several years, but instead operated nationwide enterprise level and wholesale wired networks throughout the nation. Their home internet service was spun off in 2006 to what is now CenturyLink while Sprint chose to focus on building their LTE wireless network and offering mobile services. In 2013, Sprint Corporation purchased the former Clearwire and made use of their CLEAR Internet branded 4G Wimax network to offer wireless home service for a short time. In 2016, they shut down the 4G Wimax network choosing instead to focus on conventional 4G LTE services. The company also operated Virgin Mobile USA and Assurance Wireless, both of are which were folded into the Boost Mobile brand and later sold to DISH Network. Assurance Wireless offered subsidized smart phones to users via the FCC Universal Service Fund, while Virgin Mobile operated as a no-contract wireless provider. So while Sprint had not been focused on delivering home internet for several years the FCC mandated 5G upgrade and network deployment by the new T-Mobile-Sprint may bring the company full circle as 5G home internet service becomes a practical option for residential users.
