I was way upstate in Rochester a few weeks ago and was getting 2300 kbps+. Seems the problem is how congested the network is in New York. May be the one perk of living in Bumblef**k USA
Yeah. That's very good.
Traveling the US last year I found 1,200 to be a pretty good 'normal' speed. (With a range of 400 - 1,600.)
Over the last few months it's gotten worse and I've found that 600 or 700 is more the norm wherever I go.

...just wait for the speed we will have when the iPhone comes from Verizon
Are you on Verizon now? You'd better pray it doesn't. AT&T sucks BECAUSE of the iPhone. Verizon would see a similar drop in service if they ever get the iPhone.
We use data like mad compared to other phones.

Another Verizon allusion? You know, Verizon's network is not magical. If were to have the entire iPhone population I assure you that just how AT&T's network is taking the beating, so would have Verizon's.
AT&T did great with the first iPhone as the network structure could easily handle it since it was well developed. However, 3G network was relatively new and was still being deployed. AT&T is learning as they go. They learned from their first 3G iPhone and are fixing those areas. Better backhaul's, more cell tower lines and more cell tower sites.
Verizon would have performed no better.
Yeah, you'll be waiting for a while for that......
Maybe in 3-4 years.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA about 30 miles from the downtown area and i get 1900-2300 kbps so USd is capable of about 2600 kbps...
I practically live in the middle of a corn field here in Indiana and I get 1.2MB down. If that makes you New Yorkers feel better.

I believe you're confusing MB and Mb.
1.2Mb = .15MB down, which makes more sense.

should i call At&t? why should i pay $30 for Super slow internet? maybe i could get them to lower my rate (;
