Malvern, AR | Not all of it's towers "deployed HSPA 7.2 software at all of the company's towers." It only deployed the software to its 3G towers.
They did not upgrade all of their towers to 3G as the statement above would seem to indicate.

| Ah yes, correct, AT&T actually said "all of our 3G towers," so I'll correct that. Thank you. |

Valencia, CA | Here in L.A., where they even deployed a new 3G site 'within' the Valencia Town Center, the best that I can get is 3Mbps. Where's the 7.2 ?

| Drained thanks to the backhaul there being shared with the rest of Los Angeles, I assume. |

| it would be impressive if not for the 1500+ms ping. My sprint phone (HTC Hero) does 2.5mbit/1mbit all day long with less than 120ms latency. |

| Ya because nobody uses sprint any more. HAHA |

Until I find a WinMo app, I can't really compare Sprint (Treo 800w Rev A).
This app for some reason shows high latency. The Extreme Labs test is ~ 180-250ms typically.

Exactly. I live in Pennsylvania, in a place with only Edge service and I get a whopping 119K down and 98K up. I'd love to see 3.2M... If I had Verizon, I'd have 3G since AT&T sees no point in upgrading us to 3G here. |

Valencia, CA | SSH works as well on the iPhone as it does on the my Sprint Treo 800w. Around here, both work well.
Issues on AT&T: Intermittent lag
Issues on Sprint: EVDO -> 1x often, and if a call of page comes in, session typically drops. (does drop for calls).

Real world comparison figures would indicate a 3mpbs - 4mbps for a 7.2 connection. You are actually right on the money. That is a very good connection. |

Do you really sit there and play halo on your phone? I highly doubt it. Just surfing the web or downloading apps which is mostly web traffic anyway. Do you really need to worry about ping times?

| In fact I do. I use my phone as a SSH/RDP tool to help me assist my clients. I use it as a personal hotspot, to do the same with my laptop. Latency IS important to some people. |
