Very Weak EV-DO connections on my Touch

[lxcivic4life]

Hello first post, long time reader of these forums.

I have had my sprint vogue for about 6 months now. I can never get a high speed EV-DO connction. I live about 10 miles away from sprints headquarters in Kansas City and I get only about 30 kbps connection then quits on me telling me I have a bad connection. It doesnt even go down to a 1X connection. I have called sprint and according to their maps I should have a strong connection, but I dont. At my job which is about 3 miles away from sprint headquarters, this is the best connection I can get:


I see others post WAY higher Speedtest.net connections.

Is there anything I can do to improve my connection? Especially at my home

I know the Touch does not have Rev-A on it yet and I'm a bit scared to upgrade it with a hacked ROM as I may do something wrong and damage my phone.

Thanks a lot for your help
