Think of it this way....your connected to a tower where you are...your trying to upload a 20mb file over 3G data via Sprints network, Hundeds of other people are doing the same thing...if you were to upload at a constant rate for 2 hours lets say...those other people would either not be able to surf...or have very low speeds...Basically your all sharing a node (connection) on said tower...and if one or 2 of you is hogging the bandwidth....everyone else suffers. If you were one of those that was trying to use your connection and a few others were pegging the tower....you would probably feel the same way. This is why Sprint disabled uploading big files to youtube via your phone via 3G. Using Wifi is alot quicker...and more efficient than doing it over a mid level speed network.
Yeah you may be paying Premium Data...but it's really not enough to do huge files....Yet....
