...but I'm still only getting ~930Kb down and 330Kb up. I was originally on the $10/mo "web2go" plan, which was good for 3Mb down and 2Mb up in Philadelphia's "upgraded" network. I started my non-contract plan when I got my 900 in Dec., and was connecting to the Internet2.voicestream.com APN.

I was concerned that my traffic was routed through somewere in Kansas, per speedtest.net, while I'm in Maryland. T-mobile changed my web service to "smartphone", but I was then able to access all the APNs (epc.tmobile.com, WAP.voicestream.com, etc), but again, my download speeds still at ~1Mb.

I woke up this morning with a message that my carrier has new WAP settings for me. The Connection name changed from T-Mobile Internet to

Connection Name: WAP Settings

APN: epc.tmobile.com

Proxy (never had one before): 216.155.165.50:8080

...however "use proxy" is not checked.

Anyone else get any updates from T-Mo?

No - but I'm in Seattle on T-mobile's smartphone plan and when running speedtest.net I get the exact same download/upload speeds and it shows my service routed through somewhere in the middle of the country.

Using access point name: internet2.voicestream.com.

Did your speeds increase at all when changing?

Speeds were/are the same after the update. I only got the boost when visiting Philly. It seems like I have a different "network" IP, from what I can remember. It also looks like I have the ability to enable/disable proxy, but I'll opt out. No sense in adding an extra hop or more.

I'm hoping this is preparation for the 7Mb upgrade.

Yepp, I got changed to epc.tmobile.com too from internet2.voicestream.com. I didn't get the weird proxy stuff though. I'll check now what speedtest says.

colnago,

On TMobile in MD too with smartphone data plan. No WAP settings update though (did they tell you via an SMS or something?).

I was up 'til 5am "last night", so I wasn't to coherent when I got up at 10am...from what I remember, it was more like a system pop-up like w/software updates from the Applications Mgr..

I'm using my at&t SIM now...gonna try T-Mo to check for 7Mb.
