industry-leading unlimited value to wireless shoppers across the state,”
said John Stevens, Sprint’s Regional President for Central Texas. “With

Solid Network Performance

three-channel carrier aggregation to deliver more capacity and faster
speeds at locations around Houston for the crush of fans that ascended
for a recent football game.

over the last five years in Austin, Dallas, Houston and throughout
Eastern Texas,” said Mike Hennigan, regional vice president – Network at
Sprint. ”Over that same period, Sprint has invested hundreds of millions
of dollars in our network to ensure consumers have a superior
connectivity experience now and well into the future, as we have the
available spectrum to add speed and capacity as that data growth demand
continues.”
