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.
