Cingular 2125 Slow EDGE Speed

Hey Guys,
I read through and searched all forums and can't seem anything to address my issue. I realize EDGE is not as fast as 3G, but my max speed via www.dslreports.com/mspeed is 62kbit/sec with a latency of 0.98 sec. I've been seeing people be in the area of 200-300kbits per sec. Any ideas what I should check. I'm on an Edge network with a consistant 4/5 bars. TIA.

That is odd... Once in awhile this does happen to me too, and it could be a lot of reasons I suppose, but I would guess that the tower is busy and you are trying to compete for bandwidth or your working off a tower with lower signal?

Also, did anyone notice that http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed got rid of their 200k 600k and 1mb test? Thats stupid! Its almost impossible to test any phone now... I would have thought they would add larger tests since phones are getting faster!
