any Nexus S Cincinnati Bell users out there?

just wondering if anyone out there has a Nexus S with service on Cincinnati Bell? I'm currently on Verizon, have also had AT&T in the past year which was faster than Verizon, and just wondering how Cincinnati Bell's 3G service is in both the Cincinnati area and while traveling. They are offering BOGO data plans and i can save a good amount by switching to them and love the Nexus S(currently iPhone 4 user), but i dont want to give up my unlimited data plan if their coverage is going to suck. i've heard they use t-mobile 3g when outside there area, which would be fine b/c i only really travel to Chicago, Hilton Head, and major parts of FL, so would be covered with t-mobile.

Please let me know what your experiences have been with 3G and call reception while in the local coverage market and while traveling to other areas. it would be a big help, thanks!
 
Ive only had the 3g service with CBW for about a week with my Nexsus S and its not to bad in the Cincy area. I got the buy one get one free deal and buy one get one free $29.99 unlimited data plan.They were out of the Huawei Ascend X which they were advertising and let me get the Nexsus instead.

Hi and welcome to the forums! Could you tell us what the model number is on your phone? I would like to confirm that it is the same as the t-mobile version with the super amoled display and not the one with the lcd screen. Also, if you could download the Speed Test app and share the Cincinnati Bell 3g speeds it editors be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
The model number is GT-I9020T Let me know which screen it is I didnt know there were two different ones.

first test.. 78ms 3.46Mbps download , 1.09Mbps upload

second test.. 83ms 2.45Mbps download, 1.24Mbps upload

The I9020T is the AMOLED model. The I9023 is the LCD version.
