First time posting, as I am not a mobile expert but I do have some knowledge on the IT and Computer Engineering side of things. One of the things I've routinely noticed with Spring 3G and now it even looks like Scooter's recent 4G post is the high Ping time. This number is much higher than what I typically find on other networks, i.e. this is more of a "lag time" rather than the actual width of the pipe (Mbps). I was wondering if this could be a result of a poor DNS server on Sprint's end and not necessarily a limitation of the network or backhaul. Does anyone know if this could be the case or if it is possible to change the DNS settings (to Google for example)? I have an iPhone 5 but would be curious if anyone is able to test this by changing to Google DNS (https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/). I am hoping one of the many Android users out there may be able to test, since I will admit you typically have more customization options than I do.
