Is sprint LTE as slow as Virgin Mobile 4g?

I'm going to change my Samsung Galaxy s2 from Virgin mobile and get an Iphone 5S tomorrow at Sprint, Virgin Mobile has an awfully slow connection. I hear they share the same data. Is Sprint as slow as Virgin?

Virgin Mobile US Is owned by Sprint and runs on Sprint's towers. However, your Virgin S2 uses an older 4G network that Sprint is in the process of shutting down. Newer phones on Sprint and Virgin use a newer LTE 4G network that Sprint is in the process of expanding. Plus your phone can roam on Sprint, vs. No roaming on Virgin. So short answer is data should be much faster on the Sprint iPhone.

The Sprint and Virgin Mobile line are under the same network towers.
