Don't feel bad. Mine isn't always much better. I am normally on wifi when I need to do web surfing or anything major. I see you are in Dallas which I guess I could understand the speeds because of major usage. I live in a small city and still get somewhat pathetic times, usually just a little bit faster than dialup.

Ouch. I have WiFi too, but it's also an unreliable POS because it drops out every ten minutes. I'm thinking of switching, but the only other carrier that has a decent signal is Verizon, but 5GBs of data is a killer. I often pass 6GBs on my EVO.

Is the wifi a hotspot problem or a phone problem? If it is a hotspot problem then I would flash an updated firmware for it. I had a linksys with that problem and the firmware fixed it. You could also try changing the wireless channel in the routers configuration.
It's a Sprint problem.

I completely agree. Huge issue with the phone.
Wow, that's not good. I wonder how long Sprint will let that happen...I mean even AT&T throws minutes around in their commercials, maybe Sprint can throw some in the bag

I can confirm this issue. I've had the phone for four hours now and time just goes by. It's really quite frustrating. Sprint better get on this immediately.
I notice the uploads are no where near EVDO RevA. I'm getting about 130 or so now up and on my Hero I got in the 600 range.

I've noticed terrible speeds on speedtest apps, yet everything loads so much faster than the hero because of the processor. Don't even notice the crappy signal as its irrelevant. Wish I could test 4G... maybe next week.

well well, aint that a surprise, tmobile do act fast, my internet was cut of, so im stranged to use tethering,
Well, how much data have you consumed?
presumably 5 gb?
That's bs if you pay for unlimited.In any case I think they can do a service reset it doesn't effect anything accept your connectivity and maybe I'm not sure but possibly your data speeds its not a factory reset sorry if you dont find this helpful our if you already knew about it

Well quite a lot, I been hugging it for some days now, I might have consumed minimum 5gigs, win7 home, music and software updates to windows. So it might be more. Also they toggle your connections after 10G of data, it may say unlimited but its on their own terms

I am sure you could call t-mobile && get that slow down lifted.. After all, they do like to kiss our.. well you know
Thats pretty crappy.they haven't done that to me though and im on my phone all day download and uploading?i wonder why

Willnews I went overboard haha since my computer crashed I had to install everything, after that I downloadtef a crapful of music, haha I dont want to call tmobile I have no valid legal reason to tell them lol good thing in a week the "cycle" will start again

It it's unlimited, the msg only said they will reduce the speed. They never said unlimited at full data speed. Still better than att. They no longer have unlimited.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Try to change network mode to GSM only. They throttle WCDMA (3G) data speed to 50kbps or 60kbps around like. But they don't throttle GSM/EDGE connection. It's depends on signal strength but usually you can expect 100kbps to 120kbps on EDGE network. It's not excellent, but still better
Also next month tmo will start charging fir tethering.
Over half of att smaetphone users still have unlimited data.

You could say that it's suzuki turbo hayabusa fast.
Fastest I've gotten was around 12 so I'd say just wow.
22 Mb/s INSIDE your house is insane, congrats for being in the sickest 4G hot spot
Dang in south florida the fastest I go was 3.5 4g got here like a month ago so maby they are still doing updates t the network
What are you using to tether??
I wasn't using teather I used the speed test app
Thanks all. I'm usung the sprint mobile ap. 30$ month
I have sustained over a true MB transfer speed of 1300KBps
I couldn't take a screen shot because of what I was downloading hehe
I will get a video made up soon to show it in action

What firewall application are you using on your pc. Its not kaspersky by any chance is it? Some firewall apps scan and cache your internet data thus messing with speedtests.
Why pay 30 when u could root and use wifi teather. Is I faster that way?
Mm well so 3 years ago I went to Verizon from sprint cause a phone that I wanted and data speeds and service in Las Vegas (north) sucked for.Sprint back then And I went back to sprint because their.service got cheaper and I.wanted the.hero (evo Wasn't announce yet) so anyway my friend got a Droid x and his girlfriend a Droid Inc and I got an iPhone 4( I hated at&t and don't worry I'm not leaving android ) I been running some speed test in android Evo (sprint) and iPhone (Verizon ) and the speed in sprint looks faster by almost a 1 mb almost every test but I ran the speed test on the Inc and Droid x and speeds are practicly the same on those phones then the evo, do you guys know why iPhone speeds are slower? Maybe the app was make in a different way for iPhone (the data package is bigger? ) because speed test on the browser are almost the same on iPhone and evo
Weird?

Use an ad blocker your speed might slightly improve

adblockers make your internet slower, not once a connection is made, but while trying to make the connection. Every time your phone tries to access a website it has to parse that huge hosts file. Even on desktop PCs this will cause slow downs.
So I still don't know what's making the speed test slower in iPhone 4 but in wifi iPhone 4 has better speeds in the same wifi network, maybe the app wasn't make the same

Just got an air-rave! Frigging sweet! My signal has sucked at my home. Hopefully this will help. Anyone else have this? If so how does it work? Really happy with how well sprints service helped us. Whatcha think?

I got one a few weeks ago. Still don't know how it's suppose to work. I followed the instructions but still get no signal. I'm gonna have to mess with it one weekend.
I have been using one for about two years. It's great. I went from no 3g and no service to very decent 3g speeds and no dropped calls.

Airave connects to your highspeed internet through router so basically your phone connects to the Sprint network and data through the internet.
I am glad that someone posted this topic because I want to ask a question. I just added my wife's best friend to my account (yes I realize that sounds bad or good depending on your point of view - ha ha), but she lives out in the boondocks and doesn't get the greatest of service (though better than she had with t-mobile). I had previously read that some people called an complained about bad service and got an air rave. I was wondering how that works out and if anyone here thinks that I will catch flak since she lives at an address which is not the one on my account?
Ouch! That's a tough one. I'm not sure how that would work. I guess call n ask. Mine works great! Set it up today n got full bars and 3g throughout the house....

Did you just plug it in to your router or did you have to fiddle with it?

supposedly the router is supposed to be plugged into the airrave.. but it limits your router speeds (if you are wireless that is, dont know about wired router).. it took my wireless speeds really low, i have heard that you can plug it into the router but i havent tried.. i actually am not using mine right now, because sprint is having some major network issues where i am, and this actually just magnified them in my house.. and everytime i would leave my house it would drop my call, or lock my phone.. which was a major pain, once they get the towers here fixed i am going to try it again, hooked from my wireless router..
