What I noticed about Sprint service so far is that the LTE signal gets weak really fast because they are using mid/high band spectrum for it. So sometimes music streaming is slow or unresponsive, and sometimes Siri can't even call a number for me because the data connection has trouble when the signal is very weak. However, when in a phone call and the connection drops down to 1x the signal gets much stronger (I'm guessing they are using their 800mhz spectrum for that). So that's probably why Sprint still hasn't launched VoLTE, because it would be a disaster since there will be no fallback to 1x when the LTE signal gets weak.

1X
CDMA2000 1X (IS-2000), also known as 1x and 1xRTT, is the core CDMA2000 wireless air interface standard. The designation "1x", meaning 1 times Radio Transmission Technology, indicates the same radio frequency (RF) bandwidth as IS-95: a duplex pair of 1.25 MHz radio channels. 1xRTT almost doubles the capacity of IS-95 by adding 64 more traffic channels to the forward link, orthogonal to (in quadrature with) the original set of 64. The 1X standard supports packet data speeds of up to 153 kbit/s with real world data transmission averaging 80–100 kbit/s in most commercial applications.[3] IMT-2000 also made changes to the data link layer for greater use of data services, including medium and link access control protocols and QoS. The IS-95 data link layer only provided "best efforts delivery" for data and circuit switched channel for voice (i.e., a voice frame once every 20 ms).
1x is a complete joke! Up to 153kbit/s
Issue is these deals apply as bill credits on the account over a 18 month period instead of being given as a lump at one time. Canceling would make you ineligible for the credit, meaning you'd end up paying for the device.
