(and that was once)
So it seems like we are all getting at-least 1mbps to 2mbps, some slower in heavily populated area's. So are you pleased with the performance of the internet on your phone? IMO I think the speeds we get are just fine considering it is after all a (phone). I saw this on boygeniusreport.com bashing at&t's 3g network.

Using the local server, obviously. I tried using the Atlanta one for funsies, but it was slower. Speeds around here are all over the place, and time of day doesn't even seem to factor in a whole lot. They can be crappy in the early morning or fast late at night, and vice versa. I dunno.
I am north of Austin, TX and it seems right on the line of 1950mHz and 850mHz coverage (based on the field test I ran). I just ran Speedtest and got 183kbps down, 99 up and then re-ran it again and got 740kbps down and 226 up. I have found this to happen quite a bit. Seems if I "wake" the phone it takes it about 15-20 seconds or more to get a good signal - literally, it will have zero bars sometimes and then builds up to 5 bars as I make a connection.
Is this normal with 3g coverage?
