I got my results. 155 kbps. Pathetic. The average for Sprint is 646 kbps, which stinks compared to the other carriers. Is this a result of poor signal strength where I'm at? Would a new radio help? No wifi for me. Thanks for any help. Peace.

Signal strength plays a part in it, as well as whether or not you are in Rev A coverage.

Where did you get those numbers from? Like what website?

Mobilespeedtest.com Evdo here. I got my TP when they 1st came out. Has Sprint released a new radio since and would that help?

it does depend on your location in relation to the ev towers

i just got 231kbps on the 1mb test. I've got a full signal and EV.

I've gotten much better results in the past, while sitting in the exact same spot I am right now.

Use dslreports.com/mspeed . I dont think mobilespeedtest is accurate, it said I was getting close to 2Mbps. dslreports had me at around 230kbps. I did change the tcp window size and my speed went up to 980kbps with dslreports test. It is in the middle of the day also.
