According to this article...

Sprint is slowing down the top 5% data users in congested locations

"If you are within the top 5% of data users in a congested location, your data connection will be throttled. It is being reported by FierceWireless that prepaid Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile customers are also going to be affected."

So, don't blame your phone... blame your carrier.
