Default Low 4G Speed On ICS Roms

Okay so here is my story.

I have had this phone since it was first released. I have rooted my phone successfully and I have been using custom rom's since gingerbread.

Whenever I install ICS roms, the 4G will always fall to <100kbps on the speed test app. When I go back to gingerbread the 4G speeds are normal.

I've tried about 20 different ICS modems and kernels on various ICS roms and I get the same results.

Just today I went to the Sprint store and got my phone replaced thinking maybe I just had a bad phone. I just installed another ICS ROM and I'm getting the same Bull**** 4G speeds... WTF (I'm tight)

Any advice, tips, ideas, or am I just a duncebat?

When I talk to other people on the ICS Rom threads it sounds as if I'm the only one with that problem and everyone else's speeds are just fine.

I get that same problem. And it gets stranger still. I pay for 30Mbps internet at home. If I speed test on my computer, I get 30, or damn close to it. But when I speed test on my phone, I get a whopping 10. Since wimax is wifi, I am guessing that its a problem in the modem related to wifi. Anyone else experiencing this?

See this little >>>donate<<< button right here? Yeah, that one. If you like my stuff, you might consider buying me a Coke Zero, yes? Need my fuel to keep this up!

That ping is unreal for ICS. My ping doubles/triples on ICS, I can't get under 200 ms.
