I had to put my phone out on porch to type this. Still crappy speeds. I really do want to switch but I need a job.


How do you get an F-?

Sounds like Sprint is doing some hardcore Network Vision work in your area. It's what happened in the area my work was at for about two weeks before they finished it last weekend and suddenly I was pulling 500-600k as opposed to 80-100k. But that's the core part of their work. Then they spend about another 2 weeks tweaking it or so (which means sometimes you might lose SMS every now and so). When they're done, you're supposed to consistently pull between .80 mbps and 1.75 mbps with a ping between 80ms and 150ms with at least 3 bars.

I went through the same thing. After they finally completed their upgrades, these are my average data speeds.

Are you sure its completed? You have no bars.


Reception - How Reliable your connection is
Speed - Doesn't matter how many bars you have




Correct me if I'm wrong :thumbup::thumbdown:

Those are past results, looks like he has been running almost one a day to see average total speed.

Ohhh. Ok. I just understood it. Hopefully its over soon. Apart from that, the hurricane is bringing a lot of clouds and rain, killing my signal as well.


My optimis V could barely send messages without getting failed.

Living near the Washington DC area and I've had 3g bounce in and out a bit, bit when my wife's and daughters phones lost all signal my outdated but reliable ov was still holding on and able to keep everyone in contact.

Just hope everyone effected by the storm is managing well and able to check on loved ones.
