Re: Sprint Touch Pro - POOR internet speed?

Sprint does have the fastest network on average.. I think cnet or pcmag did a comparison.. Verizon spends more money on cell coverage because they have more rural markets and sprint spends more on data speed because they have the most corporate customers.. And lmao at the guy who said sprint was losing signal because they sold towers.. Sprint sold the towers because towers are property, which makes them a real estate investment. A telecom company having hundreds of millions in real estate is not the best idea, so sprint did what VZW, At&t, and Tmo did a while ago and sold off some towers for cold hard cash.. If you are gonna believe everything you read you must weigh the source and maybe even do research.. That article was written to get you to read advertisements not to give you unbiased information.. Since nextel is killing sprint neutral articles are going to be given a negative spin to get more people to read them. Since Vzw is doing great the same info would not have made the news (it didnt when it happened) since it could not have been spun in a positive or negative light... Sprint selling the towers is a bad thing because they should have done it when VZW did so the value would have been higher... You guys can use google it works pretty good...

Re: Sprint Touch Pro - POOR internet speed?

No speed problems here. I've been able to get close to 2 mbps tethered. Typical speed on my handset is 500kbps-800kbps. That's pretty good.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro - POOR internet speed?

my touch pro gives speeds of 200-500kbps in the same locations where my 6700 gave 700-1000kbps. I'm really disappointed that I upgrade to a phone with EVDO RevA and it's slower than a phone with EVDO Rev0.

What gives?

Re: Sprint Touch Pro - POOR internet speed?

I have to agree with the first poster, I have noticed in the last few months, that my speed has been rather slow on the Touch Pro (maybe is the custom ROM). When i first Got My TP i was easily getting 2.2Mbps download and almost 1Mbps upload in the north philadelphia area when tethering. Now, i barely make it to 1Mbps/500Kbps (down/up). I'm not sure what the deal is, but it seems a bit strange to me that this began to happen in the last few months (even in areas where i had full signal on EVDO RevA, now is like 25% less signal).
