A reeeeeally long time. It used to be around 6000 kbps idk why it went down. I think Dulal18 said something about getting his line refreshed but idk how to do that

Well for the past month my speed has been showing at around 3mbs in speedtest but video streaming has been really blurry. It actually got better only today. I think they were doing something with the towers dunno. Still when I ride through the town its not as bad as yours. Have you tried doing a factory reset or something?

I think it's just the nearby towers that suck because I get good speeds when I'm in other parts of town. I don't know why it dropped though
 
My speed has been horrible since day one too. When I had the Indulge it was really slow too.

The highest I ever got was about 284 KB/s

I usually get less than 100 most of the time. I just tested right now, about three times. I got 99, 49, and 32 KB/s...
 
Address you situation on their Facebook page like i did, was only getting less than 1mbps for about a week. Than was contacted by metro tech in my area, and was taken care of immediately. now im getting 8-11 mbps down. :D

They told me they service the tower, and i also told them others in my area was getting slow speeds like 0.40 mbps and they jump on it. So tell them your zip code and let them know others in the same zip are having the same issue. And if there was strong storms or winds, the tower may have shift a little.
 
I use imageshack.us upload to them and copy direct link and then use the picture tab on reply box and stick the link in the white box

I tried your suggestion on Facebook and they replied by telling me my zip code isnt in their coverage area. Well my city is in the area, and we are one of the first cities to actually have coverage. Anyway I figured out what was wrong, and its because of where Bing Maps defaults to when you choose my zip code. Anyway heres the messages on Facebook if you want to read them.

Yeah they need to use Google Maps instead of Bing, but stay on their ass.
 
Here in southwest florida I get pretty good speeds, but not quite the fastest i have seen with metro.
