Sprint has launched its “LTE Plus” network, available today in 77 major markets, using carrier aggregation across multiple bands to provide peak 4G speeds in excess of 100Mbps on capable devices, according to Dr. John Saw, Sprint CTO.
Sprint also is using beamforming antennas to improve performance at 2.5 GHz.
The LTE Plus device portfolio today includes 13 devices, including the iPhone 6s, HTC One A9, and the Samsung Galaxy S6.
77 Markets with Carrier Aggregation and Beamforming
Sprint’s LTE Plus network delivers large files (5MB+) faster than any other carrier in 20 out of 44 markets, Sprint says.
OpenSignal also reports that in the third quarter of 2015 Sprint had the lowest LTE latency, beating out AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. This is the second consecutive quarter for Sprint to hold this lowest latency ranking.
In PC Magazine’s recent review of Sprint’s iPhone 6s Sprint received the Editor’s Choice Award in large part due to our “killer speeds.” 
In a promotion aimed at grabbing price leadership from T-Mobile US, Sprint also has launched a promotion simply offering service at half of Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile US rate plans.
