How fast is your DINC's internet connection?

Granted I am in the middle of my office building, so I only get 1 bar. But from speedtest.net my Droid Incredible only had a download speed of 0.32 Mbps and and an upload speed of 0.13 Mbps (Ping was 410ms). This is just awful, granted it is only 3g. I am interested to see what other people get. Oh, and please don't post speed tests if you are on Wifi, I am only interested in the mobile broadband connection.
 
With FCC test my best results on 3g are:
Down | Up (MBPS)
2.33 0.84

Average the rest of the tests out I get:
~ 1.40 0.70

On SpeedTest app best result (KBPS):
1948 | 883

Average:

~ 1000 | 650

By comparison my friend on Moto droid gets about 25% slower than me consistently, even when comparing Wifi results.

Location: Panama City FL
 
I was averaging around 1.6 down and .6 up the other day. I frankly was pretty impressed. It's the ping time though that really lacks compared to cable.
 
With two bars, and a ping of 251, my down was 0.88 Mbps and my upload was 0.82 Mbps. Was using the speedtest.net app, and a server connection to Tucson, AZ.
 
I'm in a poor reception office building.

Speedtest.net (out of 5 tests) averaged:

1.1 Mbps down and .9 Mbps up

I've definitely had higher in other areas however.
 
2 bars and battery at 30%, if it matters, I got 2.48 down and .42 up. Ping 374ms. Dolphin browser.

For some reason on 3G it chooses a server 160 miles away (Toledo) whereas on wifi it goes to one 30 miles away (Columbus). (and on wifi I got 9.18 down and .45 up).
 
I use the speedtest app and consistently get about 2.2 download and .9 upload with a ping of about 190. This is in the DFW area.
 
With the Speedtest app:

1679kps down

824kps up

This is on the 3g networrk. Of course, much faster on my WiFi

For some reason I can't get Full bars at my house, but just tested it with 2 bars:

Download = 981 kbps
Upload = 645 kbps

One Bar:

Download = 347 kbps
Upload = 231 kbps

Most of the town I can get the three bars, which in some cases gives me about 2mbps download and about 1mbps upload.

Beats the hell out of Dial up!:D
