OMG, it was almost non-existent. I tested with mobilespeedtest.net and got about 50k/sec. I got a new PRL download, rebuilt with OMJ ROM and no difference.

I have Energy ROM on my wife's TP and my TP2. I checked them to see how much better we were, possibly to give one of these phones to the in-laws, and ....... same results. Three different phones, two ROM's (three if you count the stock Sprint I started with on the Diamond).

Anyone know of any general Sprint download issues or policy changes or ...... ????? I thought maybe they had to borrow from 3G to get the speed they needed for 4G. We're in Kansas City BTW.
The 4g towers are placed next to the 3g towers and usually use the same bandwidth pipe yes..but I don't think 4g is the issue..Here is what I think caused it..before many consumers bought dumb phones..most of those dumb phones did not support Rev A...so most of Rev A was used by us exclusively...now that every device effectively has Rev A and increase use of bandwidth its much more bottled down :/

You can try also flashing a custom radio..that might help a bit oreo :/
