I believe that, but MetroPCS isn't a Sprint MVNO and doesn't use
Sprint's network so that particular anecdote says nothing about Sprint.
MetroPCS owns and operates its own network and their coverage in the bay
area is not too wonderful.

Sprint's coverage isn't too bad, it improved dramatically over the
years I had service with them. I'm sure you can find Sprint coverage
holes, but I can also find coverage holes for the two carriers whose
phones I carry now (AT&T and Verizon).
