I looked Luddite up in an online dictionary, but your photo was just a red X.

My co-workers have been seeing speeds like what yamaha posted (on the Verizon network), but I wasn't sure about the throttling - looks like they aren't doing it, thank goodness.
Thats my total for this month.....proof i'd be boned without unlimited data. I plan on gunning for the 100gb/mo plateau when i buy a 4g phone outright.....free tether app that only uses data instead of tethered data.....I'll prolly run the xbox off it.
5.3 down and 1.5 up on my HTC G2 through T-mobile's unlimited plan. Good enough for me. Better than the cheap DSL at my office but not even close to the DSL at the house.
Ha! Just ran the office computer. 3.09 down and .31 up. 
I have no idea what YOU PEOPLE are taking about. It's good to be a Luddite

Gramps, get back into your bed at the nursing home! You're lost and confused again!
Yeah, we switched from SPrint. Our EVO 4G (yay Sprint STILL doesn't have 4G in Tulsa) got terrible speeds and no data coverage outside of BIG cities and what you did get was still SLOW.
Absolutely terrible.
wow thats crazy fast... ATT around here on my "4g" (hspa) aka what every other country calls 3.5g is suck... heck att sucks completely all together around here... and as such i NEVER come close to using all of my 2gig of data... come feb our plan is up and moving to verizon... I fear the 4gig shared with my wife won't be enough being that we'll have a decent connection doh...
AT&T:
I think if they could somehow charge customers for just touching their phones, they would do it. Their dept. for fine print on contracts must be THE largest of any phone company....heck, any type of company, imaginable.
LOL contracts!
I pay for sprint unlimited, but I haven't upgraded my phone in years. Their solution to that, throttle the crap out of my speeds. A simple thing like texting a picture can take the better part of 10 minutes. Checking facebook is useless and their coverage in South Florida and the keys is miserable.

Yep, easy to offer unlimited when it's so slow and coverage is so terrible as to be unusable.

They aren't throttling.... their network is literally THAT BAD.
So you like your phone but not your phone bill? AT&T and T-Mobile. Come enjoy NET10 $50 a month Unlimited talk text and web! With No contract! iPhone and Android phones! Add Unlimited calling to Mexico for only $15 more!
For a limited time Free SIM with $50 Unlimited Plan. That is a $15 savings. Shop around you will not find a better deal. Then give me a call.
In reply to GVX19:
As you may or may not know, Net10 is a brand of TracPhone. Another brand of TracPhone is Straight Talk. One of the differences is that Straight Talk is only sold at Walmart.
One of the things the evil empire that is Walmart demands of TracPhone is a better price, therefore...
Straight Talk offers the same basic deal as Net10 but offers it for $5 less or $45 per month.

Cool, do they have LTE faster than most of the nation's high speed internet covering major population centers?
