Slow Speeds on Evo (3G/4G)

---

There have been a lot of posts about slow speeds and 4G issues. There's been speculation on PRI, radios and MAC addresses. My goal with this thread is to create a roll-call for everyone with problems and what they're running with. With this data, hopefully we can draw better conclusions to why we're having issues.

PLEASE POST YOUR DETAILS AS FOLLOWS IF YOU'RE REPORTING SLOW SPEEDS:

ROM: HTC-OTA-3.26.651.6-Final-Froyo-Rooted-Odexed-netarchy-signed
BASELAND: 2.15.00.07.28
KERNEL: 2.6.32.15-g746f4f0 htc-kernel@and18-2 #58
BUILD: 3.26.651.6 CL218634
PRI: 1.34_003
PRL: 60669

3G: 500-700kbps (average)
4G: 0 [SpeedTest.net app would not connect over 4G]

Welcome to Sprint, the NOT Network
or
Welcome to Sprint, The Now UNnetwork.

sprint and slow speeds/spotty service go hand in hand.
to be truthful, people have reported that an unrooted stock phone does better in the same location than a rooted phone.
but others have reported no difference.
for me its a mixed bag but the difference is minor, minor enough that you can chaulk it up to margin or error.

my speeds in my town are fracking all over the spectrum, and i mean that. it's never the same form hour to hour.
and worst of all at my work location and the surrounding 3/4 to 1 mile radius is in a Data Dead Zone, there is almost no data for some reason, but plenty of signal. and when i go into my building i start to roam, and i get faster speeds roaming than i do if i walk outside and get full bars.

That should be a new acronym, DDZ - Data Dead Zone.

now i have never taken the wife on a drive with me to test her unrooted phone at my work area, but plan to soon.

I know that I got a little bit better 3g speeds at home before rooted, and I don't know if it was because I moved to 2.2, but my 4G speeds have went down alot, and hardly work, though thats how it was before, but for a week or so it was perfect 5mb/s, but now I can't have consistant speeds, it gets down to like 1mb/s now, and doesn't even top 2mb/s.

I did a quick, unscientific, test the other day in my house comparing my 3G to 4G speeds. I sat in the exact same spot and ran the speedtest and my 4G speeds were 1.07mb and my 3G speeds were 1.03mb..........Pretty dissappointing.

I never gone past 140 kbs on download on 3g here in wisconsin with 3g.. it be nice if they come out with 4g support to cover most customers when they comeout with a phone made for 4g.. i tried the whole list of cities and at different times.. top speed of 140 kbs.

What I'm looking for is for anyone who's having similar issues to report their software details. With this info we can drill down what could be causing these issues.

I just posted my results. So I don't see an issue and it looks like your area.
