All Around Internet Problem: Are You Experiencing This?

[heartisall]

I am still getting internet on my phone, however its much slower than it used to be. I am assuming sprint must be doing something to there network. Hopefully this is not to stop tethering entirely although the poster above said he actually has a tethering plan so if he can't get it either it must be an all around Network error. I did notice that when my phone was listed as connected it did not renew the DNS in IPconfig. I flushed the DNS hoping it would force it to renew however still no luck.

I was wondering if this was a DNS issue as well, and for kicks I put in google's public DNS (I didn't even know they offered it! Google really is taking over the world) and as of right now I am tethered and able to open multiple pages without any issues. Will keep using and see if anything changes. hmmm I can't post a link due to post count.

copy paste should work:

I will say this about my attempts thus far to fix this issue with Sprint's assistance: I am sadly reminded of how intensely challenging it often is to deal with Sprint's customer service. The inconsistency of information provided by one rep to the next is (and yet isn't) surprising. And their inability to diagnose the problem is truly frustrating.

What a pain.

Prediction: They will eventually need to change my vision user name in order to reset the entire data connection.

Wow. This DOES work. It's a little slower than my normal tether speed, and hangs a bit, but it's much more stable. I hope this continues to work, and THANK YOU for finding and sharing this.
