Im using a pick your plan sim on a 3g iphone activated with a 2g iphone with an unlimited iphone 2g data plan. I am getting a 3g icon but am only getting 250-350 kbps.

I originally thought this was because the network sucked here but then I tried the same speed test on a friends post paid 3g iphone and he is getting 1.5 mb down in the exact same spot.

I then thought it was a hardware issue so i switched sims in the iphone and i was able to get 1.5mb down on my phone too.

So im wondering is 3g speed throttled on pick your plan? Is this a software issue because of OS 3.0, I read that pick your plan data could be affected by updating to 3.0. Is att throttling the sim some how? I have heard of people getting full 3g speeds on pick your plan but so far no luck for me. Any answers?
