Post 3G speeds from speedtest.net app!

Posting only 'cuz this result is exceptionally pleasing 
compared to a "good/normal" day (DL speed). Wish this were the norm!
Normal result ranges are:
DL: average ~ 1.2Mbps
UL: average ~ 0.8Mbps
Ping: ~ 250ms to 375ms
As others have mentioned, this App is suspect w/regards to its results. Then again, I've yet to find any good measuring stick of data speeds since there are so many outside factors which can cause wild fluctuations (minute to minute, hour to hour, etc.)

Yeah three is seriously an epic network hehe. The only problem I find is if your in a building with thick walls the high 3G frequency doesn't quite make it through.
Post Your Verizon and AT&T Speedtest!
So, just out of curiosity, I thought I'd make this thread. Here is mine with Verizon 3G, I am curious about AT&T and other Verizon speedtests. This was done in Boston. I noticed one thing though. The pings on iPhone speedtests are a lot higher than my old Droid X, but the speeds are faster
When completed, it was:

Wow, a lot faster than my usual Verizon speedtests, it's funny though, because my brother has an iPhone 3GS on ATT and his speeds somedays are 3 mbps down and others 50 kbps down. But your test is pretty impressive for 3G
It's pretty consistent for me. I guess it's one of the up sides of living in a not-so-tech-savvy region. People around here are just catching on to the whole Blackberry thing. Yeah. It'll be another 5 years before people start using iPhones here. Hopefully we will have LTE by then.

I got 3.1MB/s downlink today in a rural area probably on 850Mhz...but you know speed test never averages and only uses the last 1 second for the speed so...but still excellent speed I had! I was using GPS to get somewhere today and maps loaded so fast so I ran a speed test.

Indoors with, as you can see, only 4 bars... 3(UK) are pretty good (not sure why the ping is so high, I tried a second one and had a ping of 178ms, but a speed just under 4, weird)
The upload speeds are over double my Home WiFi, if I'm uploading videos i normally tether my iPhone to my Mac rather than use Wifi.
For some reason, UK ISPs dole out such slow Upload speeds, whereas i get about 11Mbs Down over WiFi.
