I usually get this speed in the mornings and around 4pm I get around 80kB/s.

Both are low. Good 3G speeds are 1000 or greater for down and 500 for up.

EDIT:
My bad. I was talking in kbp/s. Those numbers are great. Pretty much ideal 3G. :-)

Are you talking kbps right? And not kB/s. Because my numbers above would be converted to 1800kbps/531kbps. Or am I wrong?

Yes those are very good speeds for Sprint's current 3G service.

I guess it helps that I live less than 2 miles from the south of a tower.

Are you using the stock internet? What settings do you have? I tried to get into this forum from my Epic 4GT and it is difficult to see/manage. There is the ads on the sides, etc. I tried both Opera Mobile and Stock. Thanks

I find it funny that in the same location last night...

my 3G was reading around 100Kbps/26Kbps (no bar or just roaming)

but when I turn on my 4G in the SAME LOCATION i get 4Mbps/800kbps.

I use Dolphin HD. And I dont have a PC. This phone is my only internet acess. Does a hell of a job.

EDIT: I should mention I have racked up 7.5+ GB data usage since I got this phone the day after release. So in 11 days thats how much I have consumed with this awesome phone.

Wow. I don't think I've ever hit 2000 kbps with 3G. Is that 7.5+ GB with 4G too?

Since Speedtest and the other apps show kbps, we ususally use that. 2000kbps is the best Sprint 3G I have seen.

For anyone getting slow data rates, check out the thread How to Increase Sprint Epic 4G Touch 3G & 4G Data Speeds

It also shows how to use SpeedTest and tweak some settings.
