I also noticed a change about a month ago in Florida. I went to a verizon store to look at a new phone for my son and I brought that up to the salesman. I asked if the iphone was killing the speeds. His reply to me was, it can't be. The iphone is on a different operating system. You have android, so it can't bog it down. Then just gave me a look.
sighs...........

I hope you pulled out the baby powder and slapped them... different os..... same internet.... bb is the only one with its own internet.
Anyone think Big Red may be intentionally throttling the entire 3G network back to push folks toward 4G?
slow here in central NJ, .56 download, .76 upload...back in january i was getting 1.28 down, and like .68 up
Its the dam iphones... they kill what ever network they touch. Were all doomed
You were probably joking, but in case you weren't or in case anyone else doesn't get the sarcasm:
iPhone being some kind of crazy data hog compared to other smartphones is a myth. AT&T's network is just really bad. There have been studies in the past that show that the average Android user uses more data than the average iPhone user.

jay you are probably hitting that Red Bank server...go into settings and switch it to Newark, Secaucus or NYC and see if it is the same.
I gotta find the article again, but I read last night that the VZW 4G plan would be an unlimited and only the 3G plans would be tiered. I know that sounds odd, but that is what it said.
Of course the old "if its on the internet it must be true" deal might apply here!
EDIT 3/3: Ok here is one I found but it is pretty weak!! I cannot find the other one yet!
Verizon 4G LTE might offer $30 unlimited data plan, if you're lucky -- Engadget
Now that is confusing! I also read somewhere that Verizon might be willing to change current "3g unlimited" users to tiered plans even though we are under contract.
I now officially have absolutely no idea what is going on lol.
When are these LTE plans going to roll out? Any ideas?
Take away tethering and I-phone (which you can not do on I-phone) would probably be a lot closer.
