I'm not at home right now but still 3G with 2 bars. This is more like it: ::..

Ok. just ran the test over at cnet and got 1203.2 kbps which is still pretty good relative to what I used to get. Thoughts?

I also found this: So 15.xx Mbps is definitely beyond the 1.9 Mbps which according to this article this card is rated up to. Bout' to try some other benchmarks and see what I get.

Almost forgot.. I'm not sure about the advertised speed to be honest. When I signed up I was seeing roughly 130 to 160 kbps and had done some testing at the store before I decided to sign up. I just ran across this on Cingular's website: http://cingular.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=press_releases&item=1611

Hey delewis23, thank you for the welcome. I have Cingular laptop connect using a Sierra Aircard 860 in my laptop of course. I've had the service for almost a year but I've never seen it do this and I have tested it quite a bit since I've had it to keep a 'gauge' of my speed. Of course my speed varies depending on where I am at the moment but I got this while at home which is about 9 miles north of downtown Dallas. When I'm out of town I mostly see edge speeds but while home I am in the 3G envelope which is supposedly expanding. Well, it's doing it again.. I just cleared the cache in Firefox, closed and reopened the browser, ran the test and got this.. :::..
