New England area.
But I saw others in different parts of the country get even faster than that.
Not like it would make any difference from 15-20mb but it is nice for bragging
yeps and that's awesome

Mine is too, but unfortunately I'm sending it back.
Just found out my dog has cancer in his paw, surgery/oncology will be in the $3-5k range... plan with Verizon + phone for 2 years is just north of $3k.
Looks like I'm going to pick up a Galaxy Nexus from Google and try the TMobile $30 prepaid unlimited internet plan, which with a little hassle will get me most of the way there taking into account hassle/utility for 1/3 the price (I mostly need a phone for internet/tethering/gps/texting, and while not ideal VOIP service will take up the slack). Fortunately in the major areas of San Diego TMobile and Verizon appear to compare favorably in speed and reception if you have a device that takes advantage of all their bands.
As cool and fast and awesome and elegant as it is, I just can't in good faith spend $120'ish/month on cell service right now.
I would pick up a verizon iphone 5 and use it on straight talk which will get you HSPA+ around 5-7mbps for $45 per month.
I paid full price for the iphone 5 and it is factory unlocked due to no commitment and use it on straight talk plan which runs me $42.xx after discounts and for three lines that is around $126 and that is what you pay for 1. I have 3 iphones for the price of 1 that you have and it runs on AT&T network.....
Edit: Verizon iphone 5 is GSM HSPA+ AT&T unlocked and world wide too but no LTE for AT&T. AT&T phone that you buy from craigslist can be unlocked via ebay for $15 less. Straight talk will work on native AT&T iphone or verizon iphone 5
Preordered from AT&T 32 gig black and it was delivered Friday and I saw no cosmetic issues at all when I took it out of the box.
It is much faster than my 4s. Apps that would grind for a few seconds just pop open instantly.

we got two [black] and both were perfect. my microscope was in another room though, so can't be 100% sure.
Received a black and white i5, both of which I haven't noticed any issues. I carefully inspected the bezels for scratches and for dead pixels/yellow tint etc. nothing notices. I've always lucked out with perfect iPhones. iPads are another story.. I must have gone through 10 iPad 2's when they were released.
camera lens rattle is a tad bit worse than I'd like but still "within spec". Same story for the loose sleep/wake button.
Other than those two "non-issues" the thing is perfect.

So far, so good. Looks and functions like it should! I didn't take a microscope to it, but I'm a very happy customer. Very fast! So fast, I opt for the LTE at home instead of my wifi!
White 16gb, Verizon.

Preorder from Verizon delivered on 9/21. Black 32 GB. No known issues - save for odd data consumption, but that is more OS related. The hardware is flawless.

On a good day I can pull 59 down on my iPad. In north Houston, we get ridiculous speeds.
I thought mine was flawless until I saw juiced's speeds. AT&T sucks for me as usual...even on LTE.
*raises fist in air* CURSE YOU AT&T!!
/rant
Mine is flawless
Edit: Right after this post I tested LTE again....2x any previous tests...but still 1/2 of juiced's post.
U do realize that half that speed is still faster then most wifi connections. I'm getting 35-45 down, but I'd be thrilled with 15-20. It's still pretty much instant.

Ok. This is my white replacement after taking in my black one full of scuffs.

No scratches dings or scuffs. Blazing fast (though Verizon LTE isn't as quick as AT&T which is who I abandoned this time). And super responsive. I got a black 64gb BTW.
Maps has worked well for the most part, I did have one random crash while using maps where the screen went blue and the phone shut itself down. Will watch to see if that continues.

Prayers to you and your dog.
Got mine yesterday and it was flawless. Love the speed and feel. Got a clear soft case and zagg invisible shield, but I'm still waiting for the zagg back protector. I had a terrible experience with the otterbox case for my iphone 4 and decided the back skin (clear or otherwise) works better.
Flawless Black 32 GB (AT&T) here..... Works beautifully, looks sleek and elegant -- I'm a happy camper!
While at work Friday, I was reading all the horror stories here as my black AT&T 32GB was at home waiting for me. As I opened it, I knew what I was supposed to be looking for, so I went over it with a fine-toothed comb.
I couldn't find any dings, scratches, dent, etc. It looked perfect. Set it up as new and restored my contacts and pics and everything went perfectly smooth. In the past, I've had trouble restoring data from my jailbroken phones.
I was able to finally get on LTE yesterday and while I didn't run any speedtests, videos loaded as fast as I could click on them. I miss LockInfo and NoSpot, but other than that, iOS6 is great.
I purchased a $4 bumper from Monoprice as temporary protection and it's really nice (for the price). I'm fine with leaving it on indefinitely.
