Guys, dont me to burst your bubbles, but i get around 5Mbps down/1Mbps up on here in the North Philadelphia area while tethering in my MoM's house over 4G...BTW, i am convinced that sprint is throttling the speed (i always start with speedtests for upload at about 2mbits and slowly goes back to 1mbits by the time the speed test finishes)...
Also, i have never gotten more than 3.5Mbps testing speeds thru the phone instead of tether.
