the speeds you are getting seems highly impossible. make sure you are absolutly diconnected from your wifi. make sure Internet Explorer (the one on your phone) uses Sprint's connection. it seems that when you tether, you get lower speeds due to the fact that you cant tether with the internet connection comming from your WiFi. When you tether, it only comes/goes through Sprint's network. the speed that you have posted when you say you tether seems about the normal Sprint speed.
This is what i would reccomend you to do:
Step 1: Shut all radios/Go into Airplane Mode (Phone, Data, Bluetooth, and WiFi) off.
Step 2: Enable only the phone radio (only the phone radio)
Step 3: Open up Internet Explorer then go to the website you check the phone speed on (i recommend mobilespeedtest.com) and run the test...
Step 4: Your speed outcome should be relatively similar to the speed you got when you were tethering (around 500kbps. no more that probly 2000kbps)
during the process, even try disconnecting the power/shut down the power of your router just to make sure you are absolutely not connected to it. make sure you are using Sprint's connection only!!
being connected to wifi is the only way i see possible for you to get such high speeds on a phone. if you have followed all the steps above and still got speeds around 10000kbps without wifi, then you have probly broken a world record for sprint or something! haha =)
