ok.. I know steve is taking a break, so Steve, please log off xda and do not open this message for 2 weeks.lol.
Anyway, i have noticed something strange going in with 3g speeds. I am a heavy user of tether and have 2 fascinates running aokp. And this issue has been on just about every rom i have run in the past year. What I'm getting is slow data speeds over time. Tonight using speed test i was getting around 200kbps download on both devices. I verify using network meter windows gadget tethering and downloading. However if i take 1 phone and wipe both caches in recovery and reboot, I'll get over 500 kbps download. While the other still gets 200kbps. This is nothing to do with location or signal. I have retested this 50 + times in the last few months. Also While generally speeds go up and down at different times of day, and different days altogether. My best 3g speeds always come after a data wipe and install of a new ROM. I then generally see 1000kbps + download speeds. I can sometimes see speeds close to this at other times but very rarely. Basically the longer it's been sense a ROM flash, cache wipe, or a reboot. The worse data speeds and pings get. I'm just looking for others input as to why this happens and possible steps to take to prevent them.
