so I brought me a virgin mobile smartphone about a week ago and today I was and still am having horrible speeds. speedtest has me around 60kbps. I started monitoring my usage today and I can tell I haven't used 2.5 gbs yet...nowhere near it. I mostly listen to pandora and watch streaming vids. I have virgin, which is run by sprint. I have read their speeds can really bog down. Anyone else experience anything like this? I forgot to mention that if u ever go over the limit they cap your speed to 250kbps. I don't understand what's happening here
