Why is 3G on iPhone 4S so slow? (Sprint)?

I barely got my iPhone about two weeks ago. And to tell you the truth the 3G data is horrible. It's so slow that every time I watch a YouTube video, it buffers after 3 seconds into the video EVEN with full bars. And whenever I need a quick search in safari it's just way to slow. I feel like paying unlimited data is a waste of my money.

Maybe you have too many apps running that are using your 3G and making your phone slower. Try double tapping home. Holding down the screen over an app and clicking the small red circle at the top right. This will make sure the app is closed and not surfing or using any data

I have 3G too, might as well ride a buffalo to buffalo

  • Why is Sprint 3G Extremely Slow On Iphone 5? When I'm on 3G, no matter what internet connection does not work, going on the AppStore doesn't work, just to wait for a game to load it doesn't work! Like wtf? I'm truly lucky to have Wi-Fi, cause If I didn't I would lose it, but once I get off Wi-Fi, it's SLOW SERVICE! Sprint bills aren't cheap either, I have 2 iPhones on the same plan, what should I do please?
  • Why is my iphone from sprint is so slow? I decided to jailbreak my iphone, but then i restored it for accident and the version was 6.0 and it started to be really slow. Why is that? Do i need to jailbreak it again to be fast? It was a sprint with a 3G network
  • Sprint Iphone 4s VS Sprint Galaxy Note 2? I currently own the Sprint Iphone 4S and the data speed on it is so slow it's almost unusable. I'm looking at the Sprint Galaxy note 2. My question is. Is the data speed on the Galaxy Note 2 for sprint is faster then the Sprint Iphone 4S?
  • Is sprint LTE as slow as Virgin Mobile 4g? I'm going to change my Samsung Galaxy s2 from Virgin mobile and get an Iphone 5S tomorrow at Sprint, Virgin Mobile has an awfully slow connection. I hear they share the same data. Is Sprint as slow as Virgin?
