I had very unfortunate experiences with Sprint about two and a half years ago that convinced me that I would never want to use them again. Just last May (much more current information that they have not changed their ways) I had another run in with them and again as a residential customer I got screwed by them. The local operating company told me that the type of complaints I had were common place with Sprint (Sprint gratuitously changed my mother's long distance carrier to them, Sprint claims C&P Telephone did it, C&P claims Sprint instigated it). If they want to screw me as an individual they've already lost a lot of ground as to my objectivity of me committing my whole business to such levels of treachery. -Ron
