Not enough towers
Too many people in your area with boost
Crappy signal

At my house i get 1.5 -2.5 mbps all day

At my brothers I'm luck to get 200kbps

At my dads it's all over the place.

Your problem is location... Location location location... Lol

 

.........or, since you're thethering ( exclusively all the time ), Boost has throttled your connection....... Just another possibility !

 

Lol

Or that ^ :thumbup:

 

still 1x in my town. 40k-90k. i know every wifi hotspot within 15 miles.

edit: i mean to say that's for a contract account as well. no 3g for a little ways and i get far less speeds. in fact i haven't tried to use cell data in months. painful.

 

Check the app OpenSignalMaps to learn more about your closest antenna/tower.

 

It has a lot to do brutha,
Here's an example. You can't get wifi from micky deez in Los Angeles if you live in new York.
Signal either it be voice or data is received by towers. So start hugging some (fake) trees or palm trees. Cause your gonna have to learn to love em'.
But don't develop any Dendrophilia, we arnt certified to help with that.
Towers connect you to what ever you do on the phone.
If your not clowe enough to one of the towers. You'll have weak signal and weak signal means slow connection.
So towers have to do a lot with it.
I live close to three towers. (They form a triangle and I'm inside) and yet I feel like I get crappy speeds. So its not juat you.
By the way I'm walking distance to the towers. So its pretty crappy I don't get atleast 5megs of speed. XP

 

e1Ok so i was in thtat same cituation.i went thru every single rom and changed what i thought would speed up my connection. in many roms besides ct mod the internal throttle within data/system/ is still in there.i dont know what it is about vocoder changes that speed up ct mod 2.5 but they deffisately workt. it seems like an old version but it has twhat it takes for your speed needs. i didnt do much to it either. all i did was use prl 01115 i believe, change the vocoders make changes in the build prop to optimizn try it out. take your time look the secret menu comes thru. i was pulling 1.7 mbs at all times during the day.
