I have the HTC EVO 4G LTE and recently moved to the Los Angeles area, particularly the Santa Monica area, and my speeds for the data are about 10-30 KB/sec. The speeds are outside, not in any buildings or anything. It is getting to the point where I have to wait 20 seconds to update gmail or flipboard or something.
I have contacted sprint and e-mailed them my speed tests, but they don't see a problem, they always tell me to update the PRL and profile, but that doesn't do anything at all. It is to the point where I am going to switch to another carrier, but Sprint won't let me out of the ETF.
I know I signed a contract recently, but I had no clue that the LA area was so bad. I don't really care about the dropped calls and poor cell reception, but the data speeds are horrendous. Sprint advised me that they have updated there 3G network in the area, but how is it still at such low speeds. Verizon's 3G is about 1 mbps in most areas, I use my brother's cell to check out the area that I test with sprint.
Is there anyway to try and get out of the ETF. I checked the TOS, and it says that speeds can vary, but this is ridiculous, I can't keep updating my PRL everyday hoping to get better net speeds.
