Sprint says ~400KB down is normal!!!!

[ebmorgan]

These freakin people. So, I've been plagued with really slow data speeds on my TP2. I average around 400KB down. I'm in the Downtown Seattle area. We have some of the fastest EVDO Rev A speeds out there. I know people getting upwards of 2MB down. I was getting around 1MB-1.2MB down in Redmond, WA on my TP.

So today I went to the main Sprint store/repair center, leave my phone with them for an hour, come back and have them try to tell me that the 400KB I'm getting is GOOD!!! WTF?!!! So I told them how wrong he (the tech) was, tethered an in-house TP2 to one of their demo laptops....and BAM!....1.68MB down. Then he tried to come up with some excuse about local utilization effecting speeds. DUDE....I just showed you 1.68MB down on a demo TP2. Reluctantly (the nerve...), they ordered me a replacement.

So my question is....is anyone else in a MAJOR metropolitin market havin these BS speeds with a TP2?
