and I know if I had of they would have said that was my problem so Im flashing the stock ROM right now and then Im gonna call them back.
yep, funny, nice catch. that would have been no good telling them Mighty

when you get back on the shipped rom and call back, make sure they check your data settings particularly ask them to check and make sure your device is rev a enabled. Its on the device for sure, with sprint you can get it using ##786#, enter unlock code, data parameters but Alltel is different. they should know how to guide you into settings to determine this. Good luck.

by the way, here is the speedtest.net result for me did a few times but this one is the best one.
