At this location calls do not drop, they come in great. Data it pitiful. I average about 40kbps or lower most of the time here. The data will randomly jump to about 150kbps. Virgin mobile is on sprints network but Sprint devices if course get priority. My roommate has an epic touch 4g phone and a combo Sprint 3g / 4g usb modem. She gets the same data rates as I do throughout the home and at the bus stop. I pay $35 a month for service. She pays about $70 for each device. Her phone has no modifications, mine does. It runs cm7 via an iho distro. I understand that coverage isn't going to deliver maximum data speeds everywhere but we should at least receive 250 kbps minimum in decent conditions anywhere there is supported coverage. We easily get 2mbps (2000kbps for those lost at this point) or higher downtown and along many parts of Gratiot. Sprint, please upgrade the service in the area. People will start switching to virgin mobile and boost (also on sprints network) to get crappy service at a more affordable price.
