i missed this thread, so I'll throw in my usual Jersey City complaint. EDGE is practically dead in Jersey City (I'm at Harborside, right across the river from downtown NYC). Really slow speeds, usually around 20-40 kbps, sometimes worse or totally dead.
Fair Lawn, NJ and downtown Manhattan here (Wall St area).
Edge Speeds have been about 30-50 kbps.
3G speeds have been about 200-300 kbps. Sometimes, the speed tests would lag out.
So I guess it's not my iphone that is defective?
