Does VM do traffic shaping on sprint network

Just wondering if sprint has priority over VM and it's a faster speed.

I don't know how all this works, my signal is strong and vary strong what speeds should i receive.

Also i cant stream you tube or hulu

I have tried both sprint and VM simultaniously and both had the same speeds and latency. I believe the towers give priority on a first in, first out premise. As far as streaming- I successfully streamed a constant 10 min of netflix instand and youtube with no hiccups.

Though I do NOT condone regular video streaming on a mobile broadband card. I think it is selfish to do as others on the same tower will have issues with simple browsing as a result.

A very commendable belief. I feel the same way as I had some hogs on my tower. Too bad the me generation doesn't consider others when they are hog attacking the towers.

I don't think I will. I don't use that much and have the grandfathered Sprint unlimited and just want a stable connection. I have both Sprint and Verizon. I had Sprint first and it was fine until I acquired some real big time hogs. They seem to be gone now so I don't know which one to keep.
