So here's an interesting development. I just ran speed tests using the N900 browser and my Ubuntu laptop tethered over USB. As soon as I established a "Wireless broadband" connection on the laptop the phone dropped to 3G, instead of 3.5G. The signal level seems to have stayed the same and running a speed test on the N900 browser confirmed the data rate was about 1/2 3.5G speeds when tethered, even when the laptop wasn't using the network.
Is this normal operation? I'm not very familiar with 3G, this is the first phone/operator combo that could do it.
Anyway, on 3.5G the browser downloaded from speakeasy.net @ about 950Kbps, and uploaded about the same. So I doubt the backhaul link is all that great on this tower. 3G was much slower, about 240Kbps on my laptop and internal browser.

I get 2.7Mb/s in Chicago (Irving / Kedzie area)
How's your latency?

The "hardware" portion of the upgrade is still being rolled out...supposedly complete by year's end (e.g. router modules, line cards, fiber runs, etc.).
I've experienced 7/2 speeds in Philly and DC, but live in the DC\Balt. corridor, and used to get consistent 930/340 speeds. As of last week, I now get 1.1/730 at the house.
