Those speed test sites are always inaccurate.
The switch between 2.5G and 3G has to do with your signal strength and 3G coverage where you are. 3.5G only happens when data is actively being transferred when you are already in 3G mode.
My best real life download speed on T-Mobile was over 600kbyte/sec on a 100MB file.

I only think those are accurate with slower connections.
The question is "Does T-Mobile have variable download speeds?"
Most speed test sites test 1 meg to 5 meg files. I am asking why would tmobile give you the full 21Mbit if you only need 2 or 3? It would slow their network down if everyone had full speed all of the time. Doesn't it make sense for a mobile provider to have variable speeds like that?
One thing I notice is testmy.net has a variable test. It tests each filesize untill something takes longer than 7 seconds to download. the 4MB and 6MB tests take the same amount of time to download. the 12MB test bumps my speed up to 10-12Mbit. The 25MB and 50MB files give me results between 14Mbit and 17Mbit EVERY time.
Anyone else notice this?
