I just tested my Sprint TP2 and I got 15Mb/s.

Is that good?

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
Went into the local corporate T-Mobile and tested their so-called 4G data speeds on the HTC G2. I ran speed test about 15 times and here's the results... none of the tests were faster than the highest results I'm posting. Don't know what to think.

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
Netflix on T-Mobile's HTC 7 is sweet! It works very nicely! Other than no multitasking the HD 7 is a nice phone. T-Mobile's 4G is pure crap as far as I can tell. There's no way I could think about switching to T-Mobile with data speeds like that! Yet T-Mobile's family share plan for 2 lines everything unlimited is 179.99 vs Sprint's 189.99. But Sprint has a far better total equipment protection plan vs T-Mobile. AND... Sprint's real 4G spanks the living shit out of T-Mobile 4G where I am in South Houston fully developed part of the city! That's not a bs fake speedtest, its the real thing and I tried over and over to get better results. I was hoping to see 10+mbps but not even close.

Edit: In case any of you are wondering, I didn't do the speedtest on the HD7 because it does not support full flash content in It's web browser and also because it is not a HSPA+ "4G" phone. The G2 is HSPA+ and supports full Adobe flash content on the speedtest.net website.

Really. So to answer your question earlier... "who is cheaper and faster, T-Mobile or Sprint?" Read my post and figure it out yourself. I'm not letting $10 be the deciding factor for me... I let the real world tests prove themselves. Sprint wins right her right now, all day and all night long.

BTW, some lady came into the T-Mobile store when I was in there and she was asking them if they had "that HTC 4G phone". I pointed to the G2 and the MyTouch 4G and she said "no that's not the one" Then I pulled out my KING EVO 4G and she said "yea that's the phone I'm talking about!" I said "your in the wrong store... go over to the Sprint store".
She turned around and was out the door in a flash. She nearly ran over a little kid on her way out!
