Re: Sprint Letter - "UNUSUALLY HIGH DATA USAGE"

"I've got peeks over 3mb/s many times (375KB/s)... can usually avg around 2.5 (often just under 300KB/s) off rush hour... and yes, that's 3G!!"
Confirmed, thanks... many don't believe.. of course you have to be in a good service area not in a dead spot!! lol (use ##debug# to find best spot)

BTW: it's 300-350 kBps, (KBPS, etc) I'm sure you know this but some may not so I'll just post it... for others:
large B= Bytes
small b = bits

To simplify this DSL Reports FAQ
8 bits in a byte, if you see "band width" (usually in bits), typically divide by 8 for "DL speeds" (usually in bytes) & vise versa...

Also, re. phone calls not interrupting data via tether or wifi...
To make phone calls go to voice mail & not interrupt data, simply: start, settings, personal, phone, top right arrow 2x to CDMA Services, DDTM Mode, Get settings button, select on. (one of many ways of getting to this setting)
Can someone confirm if this works with text messages also? Never tried it... but am guessing that this setting will delay text message delivery also?

Also: anyone else notice loren646 the thread starter has not post again.
Where are the requests for "proof" from him? A Sprint employee? I'll start...

Hey Loren646: can you get us an image of that supposed letter please?
