Anyone notice faster 3g speeds for AT&T?

Hard to believe the closest sever is Columbus, OH...

Says that for me, too (in Boston). There was a Boston server a week ago... 😕 So I stopped using that app and switched to Xtreme Labs' "Speedtest." I find the results more consistent (though still disappointing).

Chantilly, VA. 27 miles from DC.

Just down the road from here, along 50, the speeds are way, way better. There's just something about this section of Centreville that AT&T doesn't like.

203 kbps down
38 kbps up

It really depends on where you live and the time of day. Usually on regular workdays, it's dog slow (for 3G). In the early morning and on the weekend, I get up to 2 Mbps.

In the Philly burbs (20 Mins from Center City) my best DL today was 368 and best UL was 116. Hard to believe the closest sever is Columbus, OH...

About 30 minutes from philadelphia and getting 128Kbps down and 193Kbps up. Going to Newark, DE which is only about an hour from where I'm at. I drool at everyone getting over 1Mbps.

I'm in Centreville, we are in a cell phone black hole as far as I can tell, it's not just AT&T it's everyone.

It's consistent now also.

I used to get 1000 or lower on the speedtest.net app. Has anyone tested theirs lately?

The Speedtest.net app used to be garbage and would only pick severs halfway across the country from me. Now it's actually picking the real closest (San Francisco). I can't really compare it to the past since I couldn't trust the results from far away servers, but it does seem better, usually was 1100-1600 with other speed test apps/sites.

Took these while at work.
