Here's a funny thing - I just stuck in a XT sim into the iPhone and adjusted the APN and tried it from exactly the same spot. 2333kbps D/L speed on XT
XT has alot less users on it and how do you know if you are attached to a upgraded cell?
Johnr - I don't.
So answer me this...why is it everytime I stick the XT sim in and get rocket fast speeds, then stick the VF sim back in, the speeds go up to between 600 -1300 kbps DOWN and double the UP kbps for a few hrs and then drop back down again?
It has happened twice now, both times just after I return the VF sims into the phone.
What is the XT sim doing to this phone to allow a normal snail pace on the VF sim to jump so high.
In my experience XT is way faster/better for the iPhone. I regularly get 3Mb/s down when tethering my iPhone. Not only is it faster but almost never get dropped calls, which used to be a regular occurrence for me before joining XT.
The fact there are fewer users on the network is actually a bonus for those who are on it as we get really good speed for the time being at least.
Can't think of any logical reason for the speed issue.
Its a long shot but I find my iPhone runs fastest after it has just been powered on and as changing the sim requires you to power it off/on it could contribute to it.

What the heck are you on about? You do realize you can hotswap the SIM card in the iPhone, right?
