said by WHT:Sine summer of last year, 2011, I used a 3G Serra data card and would always get around 2 Mbps in the late evening and at least 1.5 Mbps during the day. I got the same speeds using my Android phone.
Now, a year later, I might see 1 Mbps in the late evening and daytime speeds jump around 100 Kbps to 600 Kbps.
I took my phone into a 4G area and was not impressed. A few times I saw it hold at 3 Mbps, but most of the time it would start off the speed test at 2 Mbps and drop to 1 Mbps half way through. 3G was around 200 Mbps at same time. This has been in the early evening.
Two words...over and loaded.
I tried Sprint here in Denton a while back when I wanted to upgrade to a 4G hotspot and they were cheaper. Worst decision ever. The coverage was horrid and when I did get service the speeds sucked. I sent the hotspot back in their postage pre-paid envelope they sent me and am still waiting on my refund over a month later. I am never trying Sprint again and have been telling everyone I know.
