I get around 300kbps download and for me it's fine since I'm not trying to run a server from phone :S I mean unless people are tethering, why do they need that much speed? I can watch video's fine/stream tv shows (quality isn't the "best" but I think that's TP2 hardware since on wifi where speed is faster the quality isnt improved). Plus why should sprint's network support tethering computers and having people expect to get more speed than what a phone would need. I mean unless tethering fee is paid for, the data speed shouldn't be needed to support it imo. I see it as me putting premium gas in car and expecting it to go faster... without changing cars.

eyeb my speeds are sooo slow that I can't even listen to a song streaming over Zune let alone watch a YouTube video in low quality, sometimes its too slow to even render my news feed or access my SkyDrive (which I need). My speeds are usually anywhere between 50k and 256k never have I even seen 300 or above on a consistent basis (not even on a Saturday anymore like I used to). 300 also is below what is classified for 3G with T-mobile on EDGE one can get faster speeds than this.
