As of Friday April 25th, 3G on the Awe in the Chicagoland area is finally working. Tested from about 40 miles west to the near western burbs. I moved to the Awe about 1 month ago on my grandfathered $25 plan and since then my download speeds were limited to 130 Kb (.13Mb) and in weak areas no connectivity at all. Today i had connectivity in all areas with speeds ranging from 400Kb up to 2.3Mb. I reported my issue to VM almost immediately and had called about a dozen times. I will say every CS agent and tech support people were always pleasant and willing to help. I know many of you in certain parts of the country have reported the same issue with your Awe and i'm curious to know if anyone is still experiencing the problem. Please list your city and state.
