256kbps is what, 2G/EDGE at best? I currently get around 2000kbps on 3G.
You're extremely lucky, I average that on 4G in my area.

Not a single person around here uses Virgin or Sprint, yet there are so many towers around here. I get all the bandwidth to myself.
Unfortunately I'm about 40 minutes from the nearest WiMax enabled city.

I have several spots near my office where 4G gets over 8mbps. Charlotte was one of the first cities to get wimax, and it's been a strong signal since before I got my OG Evo back in 2010.
I also drive through a 2 mile stretch of residential on the way home where the 4G is non-existant and the 3G crawls (I mean like deathbed crawling...slower than dialup). Pandora and Rhapsody usually cut out for this stretch, and since it includes a popular cut through, it can take more than 10 minutes during rush hour to get through it.
I've actually started to leave my 4G on. My OG Evo was particular about the 4G signal and it was always cutting out on me. I'd have to be stationary to consider turning on 4G. Now, I just set it and forget it.
