You know, I think Sprint is upgrading the towers in my area. I just did a speedtest.net (can post screenshot if needed) and it came back with a ping 197ms, 1.9kps down and 590 kpbs up. However... if I move up the street by about 1/2 mile....well let's just say your speeds are screaming fast in comparison.
I think this NV stuff is good. The rollout is just too damn slow.
