I travel all over the west and have never been able to get anything close to AT&T's advertised HSPA speeds. They really need to fix this before embracing some mythical wanna be technology.
True dat. I'm able to get 2000/400 or more in town over my WMWiFiRouter-connected Sprint phone, and AT&T doesn't have 3G for a few dozen miles. The result: service that's comparable to 1xRTT.
Even when you're talking about their 3G service, I haven't seen their HSPA 3.6/1.8 break 1.5/800. Also, EvDO has better latency. Theoretically HSPA should be able to whip CDMA-based stuff (CDMA as opposed to WCDMA) into a pulp but it just ain't happening...
