anyone else in pittsburgh getting horrific data speeds. I have a network ticket open. I am only getting like 500kbps on 4g and sub 100 on 3g. although my uploads are around 1.5mbps on 4g.

Although I am getting good signal, my speeds are super slow.. is there some problem in the area? I have tried switching ROMS, radios, kernels.. nothing
Same here. My 4G speeds are hot garbage when I go to downtown Dallas for the most part..but as soon as I hit Richardson (which is where I live), 4G picks up. However, my 3G speeds are pretty insane in Dallas.
So i've tried all the tricks about the terminal commands... I've even gone as far as to actually pay for Sprint's $29 app and i'm still capping out my WiFi Tethering speeds to around 500kbps with bursts up to 1.5mbps
Does anyone have a solution to this because it's really bothersome to not be able to use this feature!
Unless you're in a 4G area with 4G connected you will only get 3G speeds. 500kbps to 1.5mbps is about as good as it gets on 3G.

On my Evo (3G, 4G, makes no difference), my tethered download bandwidth measured on my notebook is less than half of the bandwidth measured directly on the Evo.
Driving around and then hanging with a friend at a bar. Both of us were getting between 1100kbps and 1600kbps download on 3g as reported by speedtest.net. Our 4g was only getting 300-800kbps.
In the exact same location we usually get 50-250kbps on 3g and 6000-11000kbps on 4g.
Now I'm back home (8miles away) and back to the usual non-existent 4g and 20kbps 3g
SOmething is going on with the tower where I was. I'm thinking its part of the upgrades I've read about. Any of you seeing crazy 3g speeds? in normally slow areas?
I complained to sprint for a week about my horrible 3g signal at home and work. At the end my speeds at home went from .02 mbps to 1.5. Has to be a fluke but it's nice nonetheless. I still get horrible speeds at work.

What is your location?

This was in Visalia, Ca
I opened a ticket with Sprint about their horrible 3G speeds (100-200 kbps) during peak hours. Spoke to their advanced support who claimed that the towers I'm connecting to are functioning fine, but I strongly believe that Sprint's 3G network is not scaling up well with all the new Android users they've been adding lately.
I remember when the Touch Pro 2 was Sprint's top of the line device, their 3G data was pretty good.
I was wondering what other peoples 3G speeds are? It's unbearably slow for me here in Seattle, on speed test app on 4G lte i get around 11,000 kbps. But on 3G i'm only getting like 84 kbps. is this usual?

That doesn't sound like you're connecting to 3G, more like 1x. There's an app called "network info II" that will tell you what type of network it's using. It should show it as EVDO if you are on 3G
No 4G here where i live so i stay on 3G and even then since im at home 90% of the time, I stay on wifi.
I went out of town today to Tallahassee FL where they have 4G and really wasnt impressed with the speeds.
Maybe im spoiled by wifi or maybe it was just a bad day for the network being they were having LTE outages all day today
I was in that area today and thought I would check on some data speeds. I was able to get download speeds of 1700 kbps. Now it was around 8am, but I thought that was really good. Upload was only 300-550kbps but didn't think it was too hateful. I had around half signal, so maybe things are looking up.
My average speeds, just outside of San Antonio Texas are about 1200kbps. I peaked at 1600kbps. My uploads peaked at 700kbps while the average was about 550kbps. I must say, it's pretty impressive for sprint's 3g network.

That is great. I guess I should mention that I was on 3g when getting those speeds.
