No matter where I am, I can't get more than a 1.0 Mbps download even with 3g and 5 bars. What gives?

If you are in the top 0.5% of data users I think they will. Doesn't Verizon top out around 1.5Mbps downloads?

Mine is always under 1 mb as well

I'm nowhere close to top 5% in usage, and I rarely see anything over 1.
