Hopefully these guys with rooted and jailbroken devices won't be bandwidth hogs clogging the network and slowing it down for everyone else because they can. Whatever happened to wifi? Why do people tether to laptops anyway? I would have no need to do that as I have wifi at home and the coffee shop I go to and the places I eat etc....just venting, I'm just tired of bandwidth hogs clogging the network when they don't have to, really.

According to some rumors soon is considered Wednesday January 27th, or tomorrow. BloomBerg is reporting that T-Mobile USA will get the iPhone this summer, followed by Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. in the fall, and Clearwire Corp. in 2011, Horan wrote in a note yesterday. As you probably already know, AT&T has had a tight grip on the iPhone exclusivity since June of 2007, when the iPhone first debuted. Even though there is absolutely no confirmation of this, it could very well be possible. There has been a lot of rumors regarding a Verizon Wireless iPhone (or iTablet), but would Apple really make a brand new iPhone (because of Verizon’s CDMA network [Andrew - Let me add that there is a chip out there that does cover CDMA and GSM frequencies and Apple could add it to future iDevices]) just so they could sell it on one network in the US?  On the other hand, Apple does what is wants, and anything is possible.

I didn't know about this until. I was checking my 3.5G speeds here in NYC and was shocked to see 3.65Mb/s Down - 1.15Mb/s Down. I tried it again and it was around 2.5Mb/s. I guess he is telling the truth. ;) Here's a Link to my Speed Test http://speedtest.net/result/645440496.png This is awesome! I didn’t know about this until.

My only gripe is the speed, I have 3 different speed test apps on my g1 and I rarely get more than 500 kb/s on any of them. @Watbetch…The signal is consistent and strong.

I live in one of the major cities that had Tmo 3g first. I drive all over the city and I average about 170-250 kbits! YES BITS...on a Blackberry 9700 with 3g. Tmo isn't even NEAR 1.5mbs! (a base speed) I get basically double the speed of Edge on Tmo 3g. All this talk about 3-5 megabytes! is ridiculous! I'm get hundred of bits and they have even reached ONE megabyte in my 3G city! Their 3G is vastly slower than verizon, Sprint and even over worked AT&T 3G. Tmo's here is always double the speed of edge! (that is IT). The other three companies all test near the 1000 (regularly) and I get 170 to 250 on tmo. This is sooo laughable! I live in one of the major cities that had Tmo 3g first.
