yay first post. i got 3g in new york city and iv had it all day running grate no prob.it makes a big differences.
im running bobz cm7 and 2022 or 2023 i forgot. tell me if 2024 is better or if i should just stay
 
Still only getting spots of 3G on 3024. Waiting on 25 or 26 prl to get a better constant signal. The last few says my phone has been switching to 3G more often though.

where specifically in nyc? I've been switching between 3023 and 3024 and I have yet to pick up 3g here anywhere near the city.

Okay got it. I was wondering because I'm located over in Brooklyn and I've been around everywhere but sadly no 3g. I may try later on with prl 3025 and see if I pick up anything. Also I'm running the sense rom on my optimus but do you think if I run Bobz cm7 rom on my device then will I pick up 3g or should I revert back to stock and try it out from there?

rom has nothing to do with it its the prl if im right

You are correct, the rom you run has nothing to do with 3G or no 3G. The prl(preferred roaming list) determines if you are going to pick up 3G service. If the tower you are located near has been updated then you get 3G, if not you get the same old Metro 1x
