Testing 4G speeds on my phone

Testing 4G speeds on my phone, originally uploaded by Itinerant.

One of the primary reasons I got the HTC EVO phone was because of its 4G and hotspot capabilities.
At first, it was disappointing because A) Sprint charges 30 bux more for the hotspot capabilities and B) the 4G speeds were so subpar and unreliable that it was easier (and faster!) to simply use 3G.
Since I work for the 4G provider and know intimately what the network is capable of, my and coworkers opinion was that Sprint was capping 4G speeds to the phone.

However, nearly 2 months and a major update later, speeds have improved. It still has issues when mobile, but boy howdy is it faster, on par with what one gets with my company's experience. I am much happier now.
