I've never actually gotten over 1Mbps for T-Mobile 3G. I'm ok with that though since I only pay 5.99 for T-Zones.

You guys are lucky... my T-Mobile 3G is worse than EDGE on AT&T. I've been extremely disappointed.

I think the problem here is coverage is so poor. Despite T-Mobile online map showing full coverage everywhere, I get such a weak signal. That surely doesn't help my speed.

To get hspa+ speeds, you need to have Smartphone Unlimited Web starting at $24.99 am I right? The $10 Web2go plan is only 3g?

That's a good question! I personally don't think the speed is regulated by the plan, but I'm not sure about T-Mobile, as I haven't switched yet...

At least with AT&T I had a very old 2G data plan and the same SIM worked in a 3G phone giving 3G speeds (not N900 though).

Can people with T-Mobile plans confirm or deny the above? Thanks.

My speeds have been getting worse with time... :( The phone regularly switches back and forth between edge and 3G. 3G speeds aren't that great for me around San Francisco bay area.
