Mr. x. now i have the 3g icon on the task bar and the net is a least 3 times faster then a lot of roms i've used LATELY(past month)
that 3g icon is just that, A STUPID ICON. you could make it the energizer bunny and it wouldn't do anything to your connection.

Believe me, if you abuse it enough Sprint will think nothing of cutting you off (they won't make any apologies for doing it either). Hell, Sprint has cut people off for calling customer service too many times.

Verizon will tell you the exact same thing if you call and ask. We have a corporate VZ account where I work (the corporate deal they cut was awesome & the service is MUCH better than when we had Sprint on 76 phones).

We have had employees of ours go way over 5 gigs plenty of times (I know, I handle the account) & it has never caused any problems.

Seems more likely that school is out, and more kids are using the network than usual during the day.

Talking Re: slower internet speeds..evo to blame?
How funny, I've been noticing some serious performance issues as of lately.
I've barely been online, though I did notice a minor speed differential. It's my calls that's been seriously plaguing me.

Non-stop dropped calls. Like really, I feel as if we've got the iPhone on our network all of a sudden.
Last night while I was on the phone it dropped me twice in the span of 30 minutes. Not only that, my phone keeps randomly going into roaming here and there.

-

On the 3G icon making the phone faster. (lol)
I'm sure if you painted flames on your Touch Pro 2 and made your wallpaper a picture of a Bugatti you'd see massive performance increases.

I could only imagine what would happen if you remade your 3G icon into a 4G. 10x faster internet on the spot.
Pfft, why hasn't AT&T thought of this? The logic is foolproof.

Re: slower internet speeds..evo to blame?
Been using My tp2 to stream music everyday while at work (8 hours per day) pandora, youtube, slacker, nanogroove, wunder radio, kinoma. Then on the drive home of course. Then using it for hours at home to check out stuff I can't see at work.
I hardly even make calls and those are also unlimited (except for 1500 minutes per month to land lines... who has landlines anymore)
No overages no cut off. SPRINT TRULLY FTW!!
I love it.
