Yea, Verizon decided to have them in every store regardless of 4G in the area.

You guys do understand that it's the vendors that pay for and provide those setups? You should be upset with them.

You should post the .png for that test instead of a screenshot! Take more tests, can you break 50? lol

Yes, and they must first be approved by the retailer. My local best buy used to have a verizon netbook on thier wpa enabled wifi as well, but when it was for 3g

Can anyone report on speeds in South Fl?

What the hell dsjr2006, do you think you've had enough phones over the years?

Regarding the displays -- Best Buy demoing "4G" using wifi is really greasy. But, I don't see any problem with VZW or Best Buy having 4G displays in areas that don't have 4G yet. If VZW had had any LTE Android phones with a keyboard, I would have bought one even though there's no LTE here yet. I bought an EVDO-capable air card when my area was still 1X, since I knew we'd get it eventually (it took longer than I expected, but I got plenty of EVDO usage out of that card.)

Why does it not say who the service provider is. When I tether sweetest.net says my isp is T-Mobile. Why does yours just say service provider?

And AT&T uses the same mask.

Anyone from Detroit try this?

**willzzz** · 03-01-2011, 04:32 PM

Sailorcancer, I tested 25/25Mb symmetrical in Novi @ their store. They probably have 25-50Mb now...

**JoeyDee** · 03-01-2011, 10:23 PM

It seems that whenever my speedtests say Service Provider, my latency is lower, and my closest server location is actually someplace near me, not accross the country.

Maybe some sites have a direct connection to the internet while others still go through the carriers datacenters like they always have?
