Just hit 10mbps down for the first time!! AT&T 4G HSPA+ is super fast in downtown Seattle. I use the Lynnwood, WA (20min north) server because it seems like I can pull faster speeds on that one. Idk how the server thing works, but I like it!

Those are some pretty nice speeds but why weren't you sleeping at 0140
 
Most I've gotten in Miami is a little over 5 megs. My AT&T rep has told me H+/4G isn't 100% in Miami yet. By the end of this year is what they predict.
 
I'm w/ Fido in Canada. Took it while on my way to work. I think I could have gotten faster results if I tried repeatedly. 🙂

I've been getting 3-4Mbps down and 1 up consistently around Tampa, Florida. I'm using the Mark my Spot app to report slow speeds every chance I get. Tampa shows dark blue on the AT&T coverage map, so I expect better than this.
 
wonder if it helps at all that you tested at almost 2AM... less people using the network?

Yeah, it does. Wanted to see its full potential tho. Throughout the day I usually get 6-9. Here's one from a couple weeks ago during mid morning while I was getting Starbucks across from my work.

I never go to bed until 2 or 3 so it was perfect to test on a more open network.

I figured AT&T was limiting the connection in St. Louis. I kept getting crap results (always around 1.5 Mbps). Turns out it was just the server the the Speed Test app was pointing me to.

I picked a different server - one two states over in Indiana. My speed quickly jumped to almost 10 Mbps!

Wow, the highest I've clocked on my Sprint 4S so far is .50. Usually it's around .10 - .20 though. What a joke.

And that's why I gave my 4S back to Sprint. Waiting patiently for my AT&T 4S to arrive on Thursday after ordering it on Monday. W00T.
