My cingular phone has a burst speed of 1.5meg, but according to Cingular it's not supposed to be that fast. It's only a few places that is really fast. I travel allot and noticed that it varies allot down to 112 kbs. The average is about 300 kbs. However Cingular's GPRS coverage is pretty good and they don't advertise it. Talk to Cingular. The package I have cost $80 a month on top of my current cell plan. ( It is unlimited though.)
