I switched from Verizon a few months ago, and since I was tethering ~20gb/mo to my computer, it was stupid expensive. The day my contract was up I went to a T-Mobile store with a friend's old HTC POS and switched. I'm saving around $150/mo, and have been using upwards of 300gb/mo (yes, 300 - lots of Netflix and uTorrent). I get some incredible data speeds too.

Early Saturday morning when I got home from work I noticed that there was something very wrong with my data connection. It'd be fast for the briefest moments, with long periods of nothing. Odd, because I had 4 bars and LTE, with a signal strength of -85db.
I went to bed, hoping it be back to normal when I woke up. It wasn't. So I called tech support, who told me to do all the rebooting and blah blah blah, which I had already done. I was transferred to a tech specialist, who quickly realized I knew what I was talking about, and that something was definitely wrong with their equipment, and not my phone. He said they'd dispatch some tech guys to the site and hopefully it would be fixed in a few hours.
They did. Just in time to stream the UFC Brown vs Silva fight (BTW, HOLY $#!+ what a fight!). :good:
How do I get such good speeds, and how do I know they sent tech guys to fix the equipment?

Ok so after one week with Thunderbolt how much data did you consume? Did it exceed your expectations or you guessed it just right? What's your experience?
I've been mostly just testing the network, no downloading, simply speedtesting, and I'm shocked that after one week I've used more than 10GB of data!
I did expect a lot, but that's without breaking a sweat!

Maybe on a vzw 3G phone.
1.5 GB so far for 1 week.
1.8gb at 6 days
wow 10gb...i'm on 3g and have used 1.2gb in like 6 days...i heard that they would data throttle anything over 3gb...i'm assuming that's not true based on the data your using...which that takes a load off!
I've only used 1 gig, mostly speed testing, pandora, wireless tether, when it worked...

Ok, not much of a surprise. It's going to be very hard to justify getting an iPhone 5 on Verizon if it doesn't have LTE.
I like how fast LTE is going over the country too, Sprint still has almost no 4g support here in Toledo.
I consistently test at downspeeds of 30Mb/s and upload speeds of 15Mb/s in my home town of Orange County, CA. Love LTE!!
wow, I was just happy to finally have 3g, and looking forward to 4g, but wow on the lte speeds
I'd love to know where that 37mbps download happened at.
Somewhere in the midwest or central US according to the site.
Still mind boggled how it is in Erie, PA and Rochester, NY but not Buffalo? In rochester it IS awesome though

No way that was real, sounded like one of those speedtests done on the Thunderbolt that had the issue with caching download/upload data from the speedtest and giving false reports.

Has anyone ever been redirected to this page even though you have 5gb of data on your line? I get this probably 3 times a day now for the pass 2wks and customer service or the reps at a retail store can't seem to figure out why I am getting this about 3 times a day now. And a reboot seems to help connect again but it shouldn't do that in the first place. Especially because I have 5gb of data and only used about 300 or so MB as of the 23rd. I have a brand new G2x phone, started since I got it on the 12th, but I'm on my 3rd replacement phone because that's all they tell me to do really.. replace the phone, replace, replace.. they have updated the imei everytime, had 2 new sim cards, factory reset so many times.. I swapped phones with my girl, she has the same phone.. but the problem continues to wherever the sim card goes so it has to be a network problem right? I've told them that too.. all they did was offer another replacement phone, and that one is coming Tuesday. It would lose data after 30min or so of usage. If anyone had this problem or knows how to fix please help.. thanks.

Anyone experiencing extremely slow data speeds on LTE as well as 4G on AT&T in NYC? I used to pul down 20-30MB/s and now I am only getting at max 200KB/s for the past 3 days.
Could be throttled?

i've only used 1.5gb of data so far and never received a message regarding throttling. Weird. I'll give AT&T a call to see what's up.

It seems fine to me. My uploads could be a little faster.

Too much throttling, or not throttling the unlimited users enough.
That's cause there are two million children who think their phone is a TV.
Simpup, thanks for the link. That is exactly what is happening to me. Called AT&T and they claim i am not being throttled.

So its bothering the hell out of me right now. It doesnt look like a dead pixel, I see it when the screen is off. So its more like a piece of dirt stuck between the screen and the glass.
Its mainly bothering me since its a brand new device.. Should I just settle or do I bother to go back and exchange it?
I've never dealt with Sprint CS before. Any tips? Can I just walk in and ask for an exchange? I'm not the main account holder though, my sister is.
If you go to a corporate store they order a new one. Good thing for you since this phone is new that you probably get a new one and not a refurb. They will run test and probably ask you to do a hard/soft reset to see if that fixes it. But you SHOULDNT have a problem.

Hm sounds good.
What counts as a corporate store though? Any of the big yellow sprint-only stores?
Theres one near my campus but I dont know if I trust it, shady neighborhood haha.
I'll drop by and see what they say though.
