My wife and I just received the update as well. I haven't ran any tests yet, but our coverage is better now. Before the update we both would have a consistent 2 bars in our house, but since the update the lowest we have seen is 3 bars with it normally hovering around 4 bars.
I'll run some speed tests later, but it seems this was a positive update for us.

I doubt a carrier update would cause a 3G speed increase.
Download speed has to do with network traffic on a particular time and cell tower.
The carrier software update is more about the way the phone communicates with Verizons network.
Yes, it wont mess with the JB.
A difference between 0.5 and 0.8Mbps is not that much.
Speedtests will vary thruout the day.
I know for VZ folks half a Mbps improvement seems like heaven
They do, they had plenty of carrier updates in the past.
This is just for the Verizon network and has nothing to do with AT&T or other carriers.
Since 4.0+ carrier updates can be pushed to the phone OTA and also thru itunes.
Before they were only available to be installed thru itunes.

What about for us who didn't get the update? (got my VZW iPhone yesterday)

Wow, what is your secret?? My biggest complaint about my iPhone is how painfully slow the 3G service is... It's like living in the age of dial-up again

Check if it came installed. Go to settings, General, about, and "Carrier", it should say 10.1 if you have the most recent version.

I just received the Verizon carrier update I don't notice much of a difference in speed on my iPhone.

Wow! I just ran a speedtest and downloaded at 1.34 Mbps.
Before the highest I had was 0.57 Mbps. Most often it was in the 0.30-0.50 Mbps range.

This morning I'm back to my same crappy downloads speeds of 0.30-0.50.
Guess it must have been the late night lack of users on the network.
I'm hoping that VZW gets it together and improves the download speeds cause this is really a joke. It's like we jumped into a time machine and we're using a ****ing dial up modem.

I just got this pop up on my phone. I hit "Update" but it doesn't seem to do anything. When I go into general and about, it still says I have version 9. Seems each time I go into general and come back out, it asks me again? I'm at work without ability to sync up with a computer.
It should be able to download its own update over 3G right? Doens't seem to be installing itself correctly.
Edit: I am Jailbroken if that matters.

I got it last night, 3g speeds seem to be about the same for me but my average reception has bumped up a bar or two.
