I don't know why but I check my 3G speeds quite often. That is why this week when I checked the speed on Sunday I noticed my speed as quite high, very high actually. I normally have between .75 and 1.8 mbs which I thought was pretty normal from what I have read. On Sunday I had speeds between 4.5 and 7.2mps. I didn't even know I could get that speed on the Verizon 3G system. I got my new Verizon Iphone in February. I even have screen shots taken of the tests I took because I didn't think anyone would believe me! LOL How fast are your speeds in your area?
