I can verify that the 3G signal is not only improved but is better. In the Casino at Mohegan Sun in Wilkes Barre PA before the 2.1 update I barely got 1 bar 3G service. Internet was very slow if it worked at all. Best spped I got on the speed tests were 300 when it worked.
Tonight I was in the exact same place as last week. Now with 2.1 I am getting 4 bars and the 3G internet was lightning fast. Measures 1339 on the speed test avg after several tests.
I hear all the rhetoric about Apple tricking us by playing with how the bars are displayed and not really improving the reception but I can tell you that is NOT correct. I am convinced this update improved the 3G reception.
