slow data on "sprint (dial up)"

[nduf]

I am running stock wm 6.1 and seem to have a slow data connection. My top task bar shows an "EV" icon, but when I tap that it says "Sprint (Dial Up)" connected. Data appears to be slow and my motweet twitter app won't run or update. Comm manager shows Data connection is "on."

Is the "Sprint (Dial Up)" the correct description of the data connection or if not, how do I get back to a EVDO or 1x data connection which is faster? I can't seem to figure out the right settings. I haven't installed any new ROM's or applications and this just started happening. Also, have tried a couple soft resets and doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for any help.
