averaging 350kbps data on Sprint TP2, wtf

50kbps wtf? What, you in a dead zone allmost or what? Even 1x goes faster then that. Scarey ... sounds like dial-up. yuck

I also average around 50kbps all the time and the EVDO icon is on the task bar of the HTC TP2. I am on Sprint also. So, there real conclusion is, internet speeds on Sprint are not even close to what they brag about or more sadly as advertised.

Not everyone gets the same results and service isnt guaranteed indoors.

yea i guess you could call it a dead zone almost... sprint says i dont have evdo in my area and the only way i am able to get Ev is if i select HDR Only in EPST or use WMLongLife (buggy).... and both of those lock the phone in Ev so i am unable to reciworks in my advantage, sometimes it doesnt...

I am desperately searching for a method to allow me to get Ev and switch back to 1X automatically for calls and texts... ive searched for this for than anything, i think its an addiction

Not to be off topic but this is why I see 4G as a definite upgrade.
My 3G data speed is all over the place all over the place also.
So based on the comments here, it appears to me that they've patched together & maxed out all they can on the 3g pipe without consistent end results.

Now, it could be just some network issues but I tend to think that moving ppl off of 3g onto 4g alleviates some of the bottenecks & would improve speed.
