the day i got my tmobile sim card and put it in i ran a speed test... i got a little over 1.25 Mbp/s down and about .3 Mbp/s up... i didnt take a screenshot and cat remember how many bars i had...
this is from Seattle. WA.
im on the epc apn and havethe $30 data plan...
and to think i was whining about i being low... i got on video chat at the store with a tmobile who actually knew something... i thought i saw other n900 users online getting 4-7 Mbp\s... am i mistaken?

can anyone tell me if i get the regular cheap data plan from t-mobile, the $10 one, if that will work the same as the smart phone data plan thats $30 i think, or does having the smart phone data plan really make a difference?
- $10 plan is limited to the "internet2" APN
- $10 plan may route your traffic through gateway or proxy server, somewhere in the midwest, irregardless of where you actually are
- $25 smartphone plan enables access to multiple APNs
- $25 smartphone plan routes your traffic via access point closer to where you actually are
- $25 smartphone plan gets you access to 7Mb/2Mb network (confirmed) where available

In Austin,Tx I get anywhere from 40kbps to 700kbps. I can test all day and switch the sim to my HTC G1 that consistently gets 800kbps to 1200kbps. Don't know what is going on there, but it is true.
FYI: my3gspeed.com is soooo much easier that speetest.net.

Just use this link for "speakeasy" (same provider, different page):
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
...its less Flash intensive than the other site, and you'll get this page:
