Re: Not all of it's towers 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. |
