I chatted with Sprint and here's what they said:
You: So a Droid Turbo and Samsung Note 5 are out of the question?
Jessica: Yes, that's right.
I'll go to the store and see what they tell me.

Only thing - my icon reads LTE, but speeds are incredibly slow. Anywhere from 1.5 Mb/s - 5.5 Mb/s down and 0.5 Mb/s - 1.3 Mb/s up. Getting two to three "bars" though I live maybe a four to five minute drive from the nearest Sprint tower and coverage map shows best service available. Also know folks who use Sprint and have never reported data that slow in this immediate area.
Checked APN/Profiles, did the ##UPDATE# method, did the "Reset Network Settings" option under Settings -> General, applied the carrier update prompt... all to no avail. Voice, SMS, MMS and data all working... just not pulling down LTE speeds.
Would anyone know if there's anything else at all I may have overlooked before I plug this thing into iTunes and take the full wipe plunge? I won't be restoring from a backup, going to start over with a clean install. I've had to do this on a Verizon 5s once when I switched it between two carriers and that fixed it... just hoping to avoid the extra setup time trying to see if that fixes the LTE signal. Thanks in advance!
I am having the exact same issue. My phone was bought unlocked from ATT. I had it on ATT, RingPlus and recently on H2O. I switched to this plan on 6/19 and haven't had LTE since (even 3g is spotty). I spent 3 days with Sprint on the phone or in the store. They are CLUELESS. Did many things (many times), including ##UPDATE#, network reset, phone reset, swapping SIM. All useless. My next step is to call Apple.
Where did you get your phone? What model? Let me know if you resolve this issue.

Can I just add the three lines now and then the 4th line in a few days? I may not end up porting the last line. Also, would I be able to add my brothers line (separate att account to my account?
Verizon Droid Turbo and Samsung Note 5 are not eligible devices to sign up for this plan. I think you will waste your time by going to Sprint store. If you have Nexus phones, Pixel phones or other unlocked newer Samsung, they will work.
Yes, you can add your brother's AT&T line to your free plan after you are enrolled.
PLEASE HELP!
And dont start blaming everyone else so quick, it a hardware device, so there always a possibility of hardware issue!

Activation wasn't a smooth process, but it wasn't horrendous. I went to activate the SIM kit online last night and it would say that activation was a success on their website, even though it really didn't fully activate. I called Sprint's tech support, but they wouldn't help me because they couldn't find my account since I wasn't fully activated. I spoke to three different reps that told me that I had to go to a Sprint Store to get this finished/fixed, which was going to have to wait until my lunch break the next day (Sprint stores don't open until 10 AM). I ended up calling 866-782-8777 and they were able to finish activation and the porting of my number. That all took about 30 minutes and I had everything working.
For all the hiccups I went through, it seems to have been worth it. I've been streaming videos today with only a few occasional hiccups. Calling/texting seems to be working well for me. I'm in the DC Metro area and I'm seeing anywhere from 2-20 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload on LTE. However, I'm seeing way higher download/upload speeds when using different Speed Test apps/websites though. I suspect that there's something funky with SpeedTest.net and Sprint. Anyways, I hope this helps!
