    3652.9 kbps on the 1MB test
    3960.4 kbps on the 2MB test

    I'm in the metro Atlanta area. Pretty far outside the perimeter, so my speeds may not be an indication of the city as a whole.

    I got over 4.5mbps on the mobile site, [i36.tinypic.com] when using the 1000kb file, tried the other file sizes and all results were at least 3mbps.

    When testing with speedtest app, got .3 mbps which is slower than what i get on my pc when tethering, usually get around 2mbps

    I retethered, and only got 1mbps
    [i36.tinypic.com]
    but swear, yesterday was getting at least 2mbps tethering

    I am in Austin, TX #tmobilehspa72rollout

    Confirmed in Brooklyn. between 3k-6k/sec on a G1 through mobile speed test. I guess I could try though a tether. #tmobilehspa72rollout

    We just got the first 3G rollout here...I can't imagine we'll see this for a while 'round these parts.

    AndroidAndMe isn't entirely sure of the full rollout, they're looking for root users to tether then speedtest for full confirmation. So far no good results there. Definitely some increase in speed though, I went from 400-500 to 700-800 tonight #tmobilehspa72rollout

    @UndeadOverlord: They've since updated that they've gotten tethered results from NY and Chicago that look legit. #tmobilehspa72rollout

    I'm using a Touch Pro 2 in Bakersfield, CA and my first mobile speedtest result was 3636Kbps, thinking that was high i ran the 3mb test and my result was 12,435Kbps, running the test again gave me a speed of 4597Kbps, and my fourth time 5,228Kbps for an average of 6474Kbps. #tmobilehspa72rollout

    @Wyss: is 12,345kbps even possible? that's above even the theoretical limit... isn't it?

    The theoretical limit is 7.2Mbps... and wouldn't 12,435kbps = 12.4Mbps? or am I just too tired to make this make sense...?

    ....that's the problem with seeing things labeled in mbps, Mbps, and MBps...

    i'm pretty sure mbps isn't even a real unit - I know Kbps isn't.. it should technically be kbps but it's not uncommon to see it as Kbps... or worse, just K, as in 56K. bleh. #tmobilehspa72rollout

    I'm guessing they were attempting to roll this out yesterday, but had a massive error when trying to do so... Maybe this is part of "Project Black"?
