Hey guys i have the Nexus One on T-Mobile in the US and unlike all the people complaining of not being able to stay connected to 3G i get 3G pretty much constantly however my speeds are really slow. Im in Tampa, FL and my speeds vary between 300-600kbps as compared to 1500-2500kbps on gfs mytouch. Any one else havin the same problem and do you think its due to the same reason all these other people have no 3G at all or constant switching between 3G and EDGE. Also under settings about phone status mobile network it is always switching between umts and hsdpa which i thought was supposed to stay locked on hsdpa. T-Mobile here in the US is running HSDPA 7.2 which means i should be getting better than a 500kbps average....

If you guys have any thoughts or suggestions please do share.

P.S. i did contact T-Mobile and HTC the best i got was wait for the OTA or whatever they're working on and see if that fixes it...

I'd be thrilled if my n1 would be able to break 800mbps, though sadly it seems the tmobile network in these parts (northwest ohio) is lacking seeing as I get similar results with my g1. I guess I should just be happy with what I have it wasn't until a couple months ago that tmobile finally got 3g around here. Nevertheless here's my speed results:

Speedtest.net

test 1

ping 311

539 down

428 up

test 2

ping 172

905 down (figures it'll break 800 as soon as I start complaining)

310 up

xtremelabs speedtest

test 1

804 down

137 up

test 2

535.6 down

129.5 up

I know T-Mobile in the UK cap your data rate unless you ask for it to be uncapped
