Sprint received 4Gs out of 5Gs when we rounded up test results from multiple sources yesterday. Now Sprint, as Sarah Palin would say, is "refudiating" test results from BTIF research.
"We work closely with an independent third party research company which reports regularly to us on real-world, scientifically tested speeds, and
the results we see do not match what Piecyk found. We've recently seen
speeds in NYC (inclusive of New Jersey) averaging 4-5Mbps download."
Sprint points out, like many reviewers have, that the Verzion network is so
new, and the HTC ThunderBolt is the only smartphone that is
running on the network and that rates may change with more traffic.
4-5Mbps is a great 4G speed, while Verizon users have found speeds close
to 10Mbps, which is why Wireless and Mobile News' Review of Reviews gave
it 5Gs.
