Its just as fast as verizon's clearly superior evdo network!!
That's a pretty subjective/localized opinion. Care to compare it to Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile ?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22625011 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:30:37 EDT Re: iPhone 3G... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621870 ditka_b : No 7.2mb for Iphone 3G]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621870 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:45:09 EDT Re: iPhone 3G... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22618486 sides14 : They have already launched 7.2 in certain markets.

They haven't even started 7.2 down so your still only seeing 3.6 down with. AT&T's 7.2 Mbps should be a vast improvement over the current 3.6. There should be no problem seeing around 4 Mbps down in the real word with it.

@baineschile

In good places like south florida AT&T's network is much faster then verizon. About 600 Kbps - 1 Mbps faster. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22617123 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:23:35 EDT Re: iPhone 3G... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22616747 TCub : I see. I highly doubt well be able to flash it anyway. At least officially. :) Well, hopefully when AT&T does improve their network in the near future we'll at least see better reception and hopefully even something a little closer to 3.6 then what we're actually getting now. Just wishful thinkng.

That aside, backhaul is a bigger issue.

Lastly, the old iPhone is 7.2 and HSUPA compatible. Not that the HSPA 7.2 side of things matters yet, but HSUPA puts latency in line with EvDO or maybe a little above.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22616630 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:02:13 EDT Re: iPhone 3G... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22616169 dcdeadbeat :

Altough one thing I'm curious about myself, will regular iPhone 3G users be able to use the HSPA 7.2 network when it's available or am I (we) stuck using the HSPDA 3.2 network?
Us 3G (non-3Gs) users are stuck with 3.6 down due to the radio in the hardware. It is unknown if it can be flashed to 7.2 (as many 3G cards can). But not to worry as I have a 3G card that does 7.2 down and I have not ever been able to reach anything close to that. So 3.6 down is probably just as good as 7.2 down on AT&T's network. I suspect that the problem is actually with the backhaul lines on the cell towers (too limited for too many users).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22616169 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:52:59 EDT Re: iPhone 3G... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22616047 baineschile : I love using ATT's network as well.
