I've had the same issues. Seems a bit better the last few days but still poor. I'm in the DC area and would expect stronger signals. Sadly, I have no idea how to improve this though.

Don't use sprint. I've been cursing the data network all day trying to download stuff. Tweeted earlier when I was at 211B/s. I also blame the tower servicing the house.

3Rd largest behind Chicago and Aurora. anyhow, don't hold your breath. I don't see Rockford getting LTE anytime soon.
and I wouldn't be surprised if Wimax was on but it wasn't announced. It was on in Bloomington Normal but never announced.
I left for t mobile and get speeds just as fast as my Wimax ever got. using their hspa+.

Ha. The guys at my local spring store used to joke and say "that's moving at sprint speed". Spring data speeds are horrible.
Just prior to me leaving for t mobile sprint upgraded my towers and we were getting like 1 Mb dl which was nice.however after a year and a half of speeds like yours I was already determined to leave. Good luck. Hope network vision improves things.

I just left TMobile and the speed difference is very evident. TMobile 2g is faster than sprint 3g i just hope it will get better soon our i will be forced to go with Verizon.

Try updating your PRL, and if that doesn't work you can try switching the network mode to CDMA only in the mobile network settings menu. If you're rooted you can also use MSL reader off the market to get your MSL, or call sprint and ask for it, then dial ##DATA# and change your EVDO mode to CDMA HDR only. If using MSL reader, for some reason it only works if you install, uninstall and reinstall again.
I got more consistent 1mbps speeds, up from 500~, in the san francisco area, I don't know if they're messing around with the towers over here, but there has been reports from people that these workarounds should force the phone to stop trying to flip between EVDO and LTE

You only did two tests? Try going to the setting and changing which server it is connecting to during the test.
I average 1Mbps-1.5Mbps usually.

i did over 50 test with same results i just did these two to confirm that factory ressetting it as a sprint rep told me does nothing but waste your time.
