Any Sprint Aircard users?

I just noticed something today while browsing around.

If I hover over a image, I get a popup now near the cursor

"Shift-R improves the quality of this image. Shift-A improves the quality of all images on this page"

After some research I found mobile carriers are modifying http requests and compressing images to save bandwidth on their end adding Java Script so that "shift-r" message appears when you hover over images. Thing is, this just started happening in the past couple days. Anyone else notice this or have it themselves? Now all my images are reduced in quality when they load.

Bad threads are bad.

Figured out my problem. Seems Sprint slipped in a compression client in the lastest version of SmartView which can be unticked on the first install dialog box that was once just a logo.

Yeah, but not much.

Yeah, but not much.

And compression hurts quality.
