I noticed recently my net was extremely slow. I ran a few tests and never get above 600kbps. When I was on cm7 i got up to 3mbps. Anything I can do?

Where are you from?
I had to use DEFY BASEBAND SWITCHER to get my 3G working.
Dont use it if you have 3G, but this must cause of your carrier. (I think)

i agree with jouse its probably your carrier, i did get an increase in speed but it was never that low, it was like between .8 and 1.5 mbps stock to atleast 2.5 mbps cm7 though I don't think its an issue of not having 3G cuz EDGE doesn't go that fast
It used to be much faster. its weird Going back to cm7 so i'll get the speed back anyway. Thanks guys.

I using 2 sim cards from Claro Dominicana, I pay around US$ 0.64 for 24 hours of internet. Very CHEAP!!
With one of the sim cards I use, I just get 256kbps, I dont know why its limited like that... the other one gets all 3G speed (up to 6 mbps at nights) , both of them are 3G and I dont why that happens.
Check if your carrier limits the usage of the 3G speed.

I had little to no service at my home for almost 2 weeks where I would usually get full bars but as of yesterday I get full.signal again and my 3g speeds have never been better. 2.5/1.2 mbs. Sprint seems to be getting things together

i hope they do that soon here. Thats how 3g was before the EVO and Epic came out with "4g"
although 4g definitely is a lot better these days...i get 8mb/s with a ping of ~50...Its NEVER dipped below 190 until a week ago.
Whatever this network vision thing is, im liking.
Now hopefully they can fix the problem where i go from 3 bars to 0 when i send a text or make a call and then get my bars back AFTER i hang up -_-

I was in Corpus Christi, TX the last few days. I remember the first night I got about 1.2Mbps dl and the next days or two I could barely get 100kbps. On the last day the speeds went back up. I'm pretty sure it was just my modem being lame (EG22).
Judging from similar topics in the past few months, this improvement seems to be the trend.

I don't think they have anywhere to go but up...its at rock bottom already.
If I remember right, a few months ago my signal and speed turned to complete crap. I tether while I'm at work so I can see the difference, and it was SLOOOOOWWWWWW.
About a month after that all of a sudden my 3g speeds jumped up and, most of the time, it's like I'm using the internet at home (aside of the random hiccups in speed). Now I'm hoping for 4g soon in my area

Pretty sure that is the Radio in your phone crashing and has nothing to do with Sprint's network. What Radio and ROM are you using? There have been known problems regarding this with the Gingerbread radios... EG22 still has this problem on my phone although not as frequently.

I just moved. And now my only internet is my phone. This is my first month going over 2gb. My usage so far is like 3GB and change.. Now it seems when making large downloads my 3g will flicker between blue and grey as if its downloading then resting then downloading again. And I have not had a tether speed above 300 Kb/s in a week. I was getting 700Kb/s steady.. Also notice that sometimes 3g will now turn off completely then turn back on, which breaks my tether forcing me to restart it. Is Verizon declaring war on me?

it depends on of what your looking at is being measured in bits or bytes. im talking kilobits.. If you tether and use a program like utorrent to download something it will be measured in kilabytes which 150 kilobytes is fast for 3g

I'm apparently not limited to 50 Mbit/s, it was just the speed test app that sucked. This is with speedtest.net . Too bad the test finishes so fast that it does not reach full speed, especially upload. Is there any way to increase the test time?

im a noob so go easy on me

Sprint doesn't "stomp on the brakes". They really don't throttle. I've downloaded 7 GBS today on 4G at 15mbps download and speeds have not decreased.
And no way to increase the signal from.the phone. Has to come from sprint.
