Ok, I am at my wits end here. I've been getting really really slow speeds from my U720 for a while now. It starts off decent, but over the course of an hour or less it slows to a crawl. What makes this odd, is that my upload speeds are always as advertised. Here is an image from a typical Sprint Speed test. Upload is twice as fast as download, that's the opposite of how it used to be, and how it should be.

I've tried PingFu, I've changed my home agent, I've changed my window to 65536, and every other number in the universe as well. -81DbM is my typical connection, which I don't think is that bad, and it used to download at 1000kbs consistently. I was hoping the strange upload speed might give someone a hint to something I had overlooked. Does anyone have any ideas?

So, I took my laptop and my air card two towns over and parked under a totally different tower and got 1300kbs download speeds. Went back home and parked near my tower and got the same results as always. I told the sprint help support about it and she told me I have to complain about it a few times before it gets prioritized enough to get attention from the field techs.
