What is your 3G speed on Virgin?

It's funny the majority of speeds are very close to each other, then you see these BS speeds some users are getting,and they only have 1 post total.


Over a month since this post was made, but I wouldn't say the low speeds are BS. What reason do these people have to BS? This isn't some Apple vs Android pissing contest.


My speeds really vary. On a good day, I get 0.7mbps. I get as low as 0.05mbps. Tested a few minutes ago and got 0.4mbps.


In my area, there's no denying VM's speeds have declined significantly over the past year. I'm staying with them for a few more months and waiting to see whether they refresh the phone line. If I find they're releasing substandard ZTE phones, I'm jumping aboard T-Mobile permanently.

Not saying the low speeds saying the ones claiming consistent 2mpbs and up speeds.

A voice of reason,way to many dreamers wanting to believe that VM's,handsets and network can compete with Verizon & AT&T,and all for 25 dollars a month.
