For over a year now, in the Boise/Nampa, ID areas, I've been experiencing 25k (slower than dial-up) to 300k 3G speeds (half of their lowest advertised 3G) and averaging 75k - 150k 75% of the time.
I've called them and talked to just about every level possible; in short, they wouldn't say or do anything, and insisted the cause was because my phone was 'rooted' and had a 'custom rom' installed on it, therefore, it's my fault, and not their ****** ass network. I explained how 6+ of my friends with EVOs also experienced slow speeds, but of course, they refuse comment or check on anything besides your phone and the tower closest to your house, when in reality, it's 9 out of 10 of their towers that are complete ****. I gave up.
I got a new iPhone 4S and did some speed tests on my way home tonight:

Siri didn't work once on the way home.
Also, they supposedly did a 'capacity upgrade' (not network vision) to the tower 2.5 miles S.W. of my house (from the ending point on the map above) on Sept. 30th (the last day of the given time-frame, of course). From the evening of the 30th until the afternoon of the 1st Oct., I got 1000k (1mbps); since then, I haven't seen it over 300k, and it's usually exactly where it's been for a year (75k - 150k)
I'm going to hound Sprint nonstop until they fix their network, I'm paying absolutely nothing, or I get out ETF free with my iPhone 4S.
I've never dealt with a company with a worse company. Their employees lie constantly. No one has the same answer about anything. They deserve to go bankrupt as far as I'm concerned. They make stupid choices and never seem to finish/complete anything. They're a complete flustercuck of a company.
P.S. Doesn't everyone just love paying $10 extra a month for 'Unlimited Premium Data'...as if it was humanly possible to use more than 2GBs a month with their speeds.
