getting extremely slow dl speeds (about 10-100kbps) very high ping (in the 1000s)
terrible upload
never went over the data limit i have the 2gb plan and i barley use 400mb a month
checked the coverage map and its covered in dark green (excellent coverage)
have full signal bars. (not anymore:/)
called tmobile up and asked them whats the deal they said they will fill out a report for my area. that was about it.
flashed latest gingerbread radio still same crap speeds.
running zips creamed glacier 4.03 w/o any kernel tweaks
anyone else experiencing this shizzle?

forgot to mention my sisters sensation 4g is also getting terrible speeds too (about the same as mine) and other sisters iphone 4s
but only because its unlocked and on tmobiles edge

my speeds are still good but they are slower slightly. I wonder if Tmo is getting congested with the new monthly 4G plan

There are a couple of things you can try for slow data speeds. A different radio/RIL pair may help, and you might also try the rcdata.img fix for TMO. First post in the Sensation radio/RIL thread has more info. I do not know if it is compatible with the MyTouch, we just figured it out for the Sensation. It is flashed through bootloader with a PG58IMG.zip file that contains a file named rcdata.img. There are two different versions, then you match a build.prop setting to it.

My speeds were around 4mbps when I first got '4G' but now I don't even get 1mbps. I think its stupid to be paying for something you dont get.
