My god that's terrible. You must be in a building with lots of concrete. That's worse than dial up.
Interested to see how it does from your home - which area of the country do you live? Still trying to decide on Verizon or AT&T. Like AT&T speed but like Verizon unlock
Oh crap, didn't realize you were Verizon. Must've skipped that part. I was hoping to see some AT&T speeds since verizon is supposedly gonna be crap in comparison. You had my hopes up with the first one till I saw that you said "wireless" and I was like "awww"
Thanks though

Still waiting to see what happens when you put a tmobile or at&t sim in that bad boy

Did just notice something interesting about those results though. That's REALLY low ping in comparison to what I was used to getting on my iPhone 4. I don't think I ever saw less than 133ms. Usually 2-300s sometimes higher. On AT&T that is. Verizon always seems to have better latency.
Hmm...I just found this:
It says it was updated October 11...but it doesn't list Sprint as a US carrier, so it may not be accurate.
OP, this page says: "After a carrier applies an unlock, connecting your iPhone to iTunes allows iTunes to unlock your iPhone. iTunes displays the "unlock complete" message above the first time you connect a newly unlocked iPhone (or an unlocked iPhone that has been restored)."

TheDude, would you mind trying out something on Siri for me? My co-workers and I were trying to come up with things to ask/say to it hoping to get responses like the 2001 and Hitchhikers references.
What happens when you tell Siri "The cake is a lie"?

Verizon offers unlocking too.
I contacted my AT&T CS regarding AT&T iPhone 4s unlock,
Me: I would like to take my new iPhone 4s out of the country this Dec, can you guys offer to unlock my new iPhone 4s like Verizion and Sprint? And I have been a good customer with you guys for 7 years.
AT&T: Let me check with my supervisor..... 3 mins later. SORRY, we currently don't offer to unlock any Apple product, but you can unlock it from someone else.
Me: What do you mean by someone else?
AT&T: Just google "Jailbreak iPhone", you will find a lots information about it.
Me: ..... Speechless

LOL! That's hilarious.
Those data speeds are abysmal. Now I'm considering returning my VZW 4S and going ATT.
need to read the disclaimer on the bottom. He was in a building that has bad signal. It would of been bad on AT&T as well.
AT&T will be faster but not by much.
I have a flacky AT&T signal in my house. On my Atrix I pulled 0.438 down and .582 up and that honestly is pretty good. I have seen numbers lower inside the house on test.
If I step out side and walk down the street a little ways I can max out the server I am speed testing off of but I have gotten numbers in the 7Mbit range before.

I can't believe an AT&T rep would advise you to do something to void your warranty. That's insane. Dude needs to get fired.
Yes, I was shocked.... I can't believe AT&T would advised me to jailbreak iPhone 4s to unlock it... I'm super disappoint with them right now. I will switch out to Verizion or Sprint when the next iPhone comes out. Sick of the AT&T SIM LOCK CRAP.
In other news, I just saw this article which states Verizon's unlocking policy quite clearly:
We already knew that but it's good to see it from an official source. Only question now is whether OPs unlock went through correctly.

Me: Siri, Please locate my wife.
Siri: A moment please. I found your wife. She's in the kitchen and ready for diner. Are you ready?
