I don't think you can really compare the best network in the US (Verizon) to Sprint in any meaningful way. I would put (based on ancedote of course) Sprint's network on par with T-mobile in terms of coverage. I'd rank it far below T-Mobile in terms of speed. If you need good coverage "everywhere" VZW is unfortunately your only real option. AT&T I guess is a close second. Or to put it another way. I have lent my VZW phone out to dozens of people to make phone calls when they lacked coverage. I have never once had to borrow a Sprint or AT&T phone to make mine.
