Glad to know I'm not the only one in the DC area that isn't happy with their speeds. I JUST joined Sprint - picked up my Epic Touch 4g last night, and have spent a large part of today playing with it, and I'm really really frustrated by how slow the speeds seem to be. I just came from Virgin Mobile, and I was hoping my issues were with my phone, but now I'm seriously considering the fact that maybe some of my issues were with the network as well - but even then, it seems like I had BETTER service on Virgin than I do on Sprint today.
I'm down in the NoVA area, so I'm on the other side of the beltway, so I'm wondering if this entire city just isn't worth it for Sprint, which sucks, as I've been looking forward to getting onto Sprint for a while now.
