No it's not considered roaming at all. Some places just have poor coverage(towers) so you can't get a good speeds:(
Try these to see if it improves:
Try what dadcup said above- *228 & choose option 5

If that doesn't improve it use dadcup's handy dandy guide

Other people have said on here that 3g is weak up that way before but it should increase it some.:)
 
1xRTT is "2G" not roaming. The Samsung Admire can only get 1x and 3G. If you haven't already, you can update your PRL by dialing *228 and pressing 5. If you don't see a 3G icon still, then Metro PCS must not have 3G in your area.

Alright, I will try later on even though I tried this about a week ago when I got the phone. Also I will get the current PRL when I go on my lunch break, I'm currently at work.
