Exactly. 256k throttle is normal all day everyday. Hell I'd be happy to get 128k in some places.

They are supposed to be upgrading capacity in many areas (»network.sprint.com/). And I would believe it. I've never really hit above around 512/128 tops on my Mifi in this area. Tested yesterday in the middle of the afternoon and hit around 1200/512 which is not shabby at all.
To be honest: The convenience of having an available connection without overages is a huge benefit and the 256k limit isn't that big of a deal imho when you consider the viable alternatives. Those being any cellular data with no caps are usually slower speed 'hacks' (QNC on Verizon at ~10kbps, Nextel's still unlimited data at ~14kbps, I believe GSM has a similar dialup-grade 1G network left intact with no caps).

I swear, some people should have pace-makers installed to free up the resources. Breathing and heart beat taxes their whole system, all of their brain cells wasted on life support.-two bit brains, and the second bit is wasted on parity! ~head_spaz |

Quite a few. It's Verizon that is about dial-up here
