I'm on T-Mobile USA (San Diego)... Been through 3 PPCs, 4 different radio stacks, and at least as many roms, and I am **lucky** to get 9600. It's painfully slow as the rule (typically 30-45 seconds to bring up a page with nothing but a 25KB image =~ 4500bps)... once in a great while I'll be shocked with speeds approaching 28.8 but it never lasts for even a day. =(
Repeated calls to TMO always lead to me being put through their series of troubleshooting, and end in no results. If I really push, they offer to replace my phone. (Which would explain why I'm on my 3rd one.) I was really hoping this latest update (4.01) would ease my suffering, but no... I still feel like I'm back in 1984 connecting from my Commodore 64 with a 300 Baud modem.
I can't even run bandwidthplace.com/speedtest, it times out!
Does ANYONE have any ideas?! I'm getting desperate :cry: , if it wasn't for my damn contract I would have bailed by now.
Sidenote -- Funny thing is, just last week, I put the latest ATT RS ROM on, and for about a day I was getting respectable speeds... then, bam... back to the T-mobile I've known and hated. Probably was just coincidence and TMO was having a good day as I had pretty much given up on GPRS prior to that.
Anyone else in SD area have similar (or dis-similar) results?
BTW, I'm not THAT new... been lurking here for months. =) Hello to all!
