I wonder what the real world end user speeds will be?

* Notice to ATT employees (fanboys) I said end-user speeds, NOT "advertised speed".*

Gosh it sure will be exciting when the speeds ATTs 3G network are actually worth the $60/mo that ATT charges.

I'm just guessing, but I suspect it will probably be about double what you're seeing now.

I'm getting about 1.1 right now, so I suspect I'll be at or a little over 2.0 once then upgrade my area to 7.2.

I was hoping for 3 or 4mbps. Your probably right, between 2.5 and 3mbps or so, not too bad I guess.

the 7.2 mbps is the max for the serving cell site at any one time. if you're getting a good connection and there isnt much other data traffic on the site, you could expect to get a pretty solid download rate. now if it is in a high traffic area during peak hours, forget it...

also remember that most of the devices today arent able chipset wise to take advantage of the 7.2 upgrade (rumor is the new iphone will at least have the faster capability)

either way it is still a good thing 😲
