According to dslreports.com archive..

Biggest problem with most evaluations is that they don't test across the country with thousands of users. Dslreports.com has a great archive of users across the country. Looks like Sprint leads for cellphones today..

Here are laptop card results...
Speed Test Statistics - dslreports.com

Samples Down Upload
113 747 369 Sprint Mobile Broadband:
105 727 353 Verizon Wireless
28 622 374 Cingular: US mobile provider (ATT)

These results change all the time though and some are 2g results. No provider consistently leads and all are sometimes on top. Wireless data is fickle.

The problem with the DSLReports.com archive is that mobile IPs frequently report the wrong domain.

I frequently see "myvzw.com" using AT&T's 3G service, and sometimes other strange, non AT&T domains.

I do agree that the sampling of 4 carriers through in one location (at a specific time?) is not a real scientific basis - especially for wireless.

Take what they have performed - hit at least 20 cities
Run a series of different speed tests (similar to what they have done)
Run them at different times during the day and evening
Run them in different parts of the city

Also for 'grins' run take a sample is a rural area outside of the city (farmland, etc) where there's a possibility of no users.

Also see evdomaps.com

Many have seen up to 3.5Mbps with EVDO.

It is. The fastest i've ever seen with my Sprint EV-DO card is ~2.7Mbps. On average I get between 2-2.5Mbps. »Re: How's your speed for May?

I've tested AT&T, Sprint and Verizon and Sprint has always came out on top here in Kansas City.
