answer:I don’t have Sprint, so I can’t say for sure. But as a result of the agreement between Sprint and one of the satellit TV companies, Sprint has increased its number of antennas and access points because they are using bandwith and radio waves owned by the TV people (Dish, I think). So it wouldn’t surprise me if they were pushing new configurations out to your phone to take advantage of the new increased amount of radio availability. But… why not call Sprint and ask?
