Re: Tethering-slow data/ping speeds all of a sudden!!!

Thanks for the posts guys. I have been able to get bursts of 2mbps on occassion now, but i'm basically averaging only 1mbps now. That's way down from my usual 2 to 3mbps even when I was tethering with my Touch Pro. Something got shut down or else a ship load of Sprint users just landed in my back yard and their hogging up all the bandwidth all of a sudden...LOL On a serious note I'm thinking mabe my account was flagged and Sprint put a restriction on my account. No I don't use file share programs, download movies , or anything that data intensive. I just browse the web, youtube, download some apps, etc. Oh well it was great while it lasted.

Re: Tethering-slow data/ping speeds all of a sudden!!!

I can't get download speeds faster than 1.17mbps now now matter what. Sprint insists the towers around here are all working up to specs. It's going on one month now with these much slower tethiring speeds and youtube videos on my pc used to play perfect. Now It buffers constantly throughout the entire youtube video. I noticed when I test at speedtest.net that when it tests the download speed the needle jumps very quickly to the 1mb line and looks as if it hits a brick wall. Before it would go up to 2 or higher and fluctuate while testing until it settled on the current reading. It really seems like it has been limited from the looks of the testing. That needle really does hit a brick wall at 1mbps and will not budge above that mark no matter how many times I run the tests and reguardless of the server chosen. I'm hoping and praying that they are working on the towers or Sprint is working on their network causing this problem. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled my tether and the novacom drivers etc on my pc and it made no difference. It looks like this is an isolated incidence because nobody else is complaining yet.

again, 99% of the people wont be complaining because they are not tethering because they are not aware that it is possible.

Re: Tethering-slow data/ping speeds all of a sudden!!!

Yes that's true but I'm referring to the people who are tethering. Thanks for the input I hope this gets better soon because this is making me wanna cry... LOL. But I'd gledly pay for tethering if it was an option with Sprint but as we know it's not.
