but my 3g usualy sucks cuz i get no service at my house.
 
does anyone know what the customer service guy means by "sending signals to your phone to improve reception"? Cause after the phone call my score went up to 3000 kbps. That was just the 1st test though. I tested for about an hour (about every10 minutes or so) and my score stayed between 1200-1700. It's been about 8 hours now and my score is back to an average of 450. I am doing test while in my room and my signal is pretty constant here.

Oh and the reason the rep did it was because he could not hear me. My call had nothing to do with 3g speeds or reception.
 
boost reps are the bottom of the barrel sprint reps! He probably refreshed the device. if you bitch enough you actualy can talk to the sprint techs after they cant help you
 
high 2348d 518u 190p.

lows around 341d 70u 250p.

Speed vary widely but I average about 1200d and 300u on 3g.

no prob on da off subject...

u just need 2 call em up & tell them 2 switch your # to your area code.... also they may not have your area code for there service yet.. but 2 switch, they may wanna charge u for that though. think its $5, but the trick 2 get your number changed from boost customer support for free, is to call saying ur getting like stalker/threat calls & creditor calls for some other person.. someone keeps calling u, hanging up, threats, all of em... lol. They supposed 2 switch your number for free.. ive done it a few times fo free (Got ex GF's Mad) but they will always try 2 get that buck to change the number.... had a cali number when i was in NYC... Switches it to a (917) # & now i got a (347) one.. same trick all free.. lol... boost CS are numb nuts...
