The more people on the Rev.A network, the slower your speeds will be, because there is only so much bandwidth on the network.

And being in the same vicinity as the Sprint Headquarters (which you have pointed out several times) I would assume that LOT of people have Sprint, and probably most of them are on the Rev.A network. Is this making sense?
Yes unfortunately it makes alot of sense but is still very frustrating... I can't see a real reason why it should ever drop below 200kbs. I can understand losing bandwidth. I have Comcast and so does everyone else in my apartment complex so if alot of people are online, I notice pages take longer to load. I can understand getting 600-700kbps but 200? I'm ready to give up... This is just ridiculous...
