Did you get that much speed during the day? Or did you test it during the night? I can get up to 1.5mbps at night which is faster than my wifi speed but during the day I average around 50-75kbps

I can't for some reason get the 2.01meg Screenshot to load up on tapatalk, anyways I'm sure up to 3meg is possible on sprint. I've heard up to 5meg on at&t. 3g isn't that slow, it's just sprint :)
 
Cartal it depends on how many towers you habe in your area its odd because haveing one tower is better then having 3 if u have more thenn one the signal will bounce back and fourth i am now living a block.and a half from a tower which is one of three in the area i was getting better download speed when i was livong kn the.middle of the forest with only one tower i can sent under this tower have full bars on eberhthing but the doanload speed is.extremly slow like a few bytes a sec
 
This is nuts...ive never gotten even close to 500 kbps...From now on, anyone whos posting Screenshots, change it to Mbps....
 
all depends on your region
I'm jealous of all yall and ur ridiculous speeds lol.... I'm lucky ifvi even get a text msg within two hours its sent...
 
to all you NY ppl, i tried a few random older prls..actually 10 of them lol, and 60679 actually was best for me...but my 3g sux anyway, let me know if you guys notice any increase.

i even tried random ones, hybrit, SprintVZWprl, some metro ones, some didnt work at all, some made my phone think its in taiwan, and some were just slow as sh*t lol

must be what my issue is, sometimes i get full 3g bars, but my highest speedtest after many prl changes was like 44 kbps, nuts
 
Stuck on that 61008 prl, and about 45 mins north of Albany and the service is pretty crappy. Was working great until we had a thunderstorm last wednesday. Now 3g cuts in and out, and at work often times data just does not exist.

Nvm. I've changed a bunch of prls tonight. They all seem to run about the same here.. Through speedtest.net going off of a vermont server my highest was 740kbps down.
 
if any one is still intrested i get internet turned on tommarrow ill i will upload every prl for sprint ive found which is alot plus a analyiz of some of them i found else where whatwhat city was listed in side the prl ect theres even some corporate ones plus latest sprint and latest corporate which is 60687 oh and theres a new boost prl which im using now that you mite want to try where im staying now i barly have 3g and have no call signal at all but with the new boost prl service is a tine bit better

one more thing i found out if i sit my phone next to a sprint phone in this house with the same prl the sprint phones seems to work a small amounnt better and its not because the phone is better the sprint phone is a replenish and my wifes phone is the boost replenish my phone has better signal then the boost replenish but slightly less then the sprint replenish wile all using the same prl

oh and nove watch what prl you use like version or metro some of there prls make boost phones seem like the have great signal but you cant call out ect theres are sprint prls that can roam on version towers but if you go over 300mb data or 800 minutes roaming sprint cuts your off so not sure what boost would do

Thanks yeah i figured that out due to trial and error, but as far as i'm aware boost does not throttle, but my location just sucks and i can't get good speeds, Im gonna be in NYC next weekend, looking forward to seeing if i can break 44 kbps lol
 
Tried a few of the PRL's and found 61085 to give the fastest speed so far. Did the tests between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Gonna see how this one does over the next couple of days. Get almost 1Mbs download with it and the others crawl at .10 to .15Mbs. I live in Hillsborough NC which is right outside Chapel Hill. I'll try to post back after a couple days with this PRL. Forgot to mention I only get 1 or 2 bars at the house, and still got almost 1Mbs with this PRL.

I think 3g maxes out around 1.6mb, i'm in upstate ny and i was on 11119 until i dropped in a few areas, good speeds, 600kb/s, then i went to the current sprint in my area which is 60686, that was avg. 400kb's, now i'm on 12120, i hit 600kb's when i first flashed it, but now it's struggling at 200kb's...hope it helps
 
After a couple days I found 21081 to be the the better for me. Highest speed attained was just over 2mbs with an average during the day of 300 to 500kbs.
