iPhone 4S data speed is super slow in the Salt Lake City area

[skarloey]

I returned my Virgin Mobile iPhone 4S last night to radio shack. The first store wouldn't do it so I went to the next closest one and they did it. The guy there was really nice and said he "would fight to get anyone's money back" that could only get 110kbps speeds on virgin mobile. Have straight talk working now and did a couple more speed tests. Got one that averaged at 1440kbps. $45 with ST is significantly more than $30 at VM...but why pay for data if it's unusable?

Good question.

I would at least look into the t-mo $30 plan before making any decision to leap up to straight talk $45 plan if I were you.

iPhone is a requirement so EDGE would probably be too slow as well.

*sigh* Virgin Mobile still owes their customers nothing once an iPhone is in their hands. Use WiFi, that's the only way you were supposed to use FaceTime; it might as well be the only way users access Siri as well.

It's not such a good deal when the unlimited data really isn't anywhere near it. I'm surprised VM is allowed that label...
