I just signed up for the 9.99 plan using internet2.voicestream.com, speedtest.net reports about 1Mb down/300Kb up. It doesn't work with epc.tmobile.com so I can't test the speed with it (I get their web2go website)
As X61 stated 3G depends on the availability in your area, I had 3G for calls without the data plan.

I have a very old t-mobile total internet VPN plan (for 19.99 and includes 100 MMS, yes, MMS, SMS I get charged for). The only APNs I can use are the epc one and internet3. If I set it to internet2 it won't connect.

Bizarre, huh? Sometimes I don't need a public IP and would be happy with private behind NAT so I would use internet2 and save an IP -- but I guess that's not allowed.

i currently have 9.99 unlimited web for dumbphones, running on internet2.voicesteam.com. i am in ct my 3g speeds are between 700 and 800
there is a soft cap of 10 gigs on my plan. if and when i reach that, bandwidth is throttled not cut off.

They told me it'd take 2-48 hours after I had my plan switched from my G1 to something that would work on other phones. I had a working data connection in about 10 minutes. So might wanna call or chat online with T-Mobile.

yeah i went ahead and called them.. guess what the idiot from before added the internet plan to my moms phone instead of mine.. which i don't get when he asked for my phone number to add it and plus my number is way different from my moms lol.
so then he switched it and i was able to connect 5mins right after.. so for 2 days i was waiting to see if i could connect.. :face palm:.
