60 kbps? wow...that's about 10 times slower than it should be.

Are you sure you're not roaming? Did you by any chance do anything to force your phone on 1x? Is your Wi-fi on, connecting to some network with really crappy internet speeds?

Are you getting the same results not tethered? If so, maybe you wanna try a new radio, or call Sprint.

If I was getting 60kbps, I'd be complaining.
