Are you getting good 3G speeds?

My Incredible has 1/2 bars most of the time. This would be ok if my data speeds weren't so terrible.

Most of the time my DL is at 250kbps.

The only time I had 4 bars was at the Verizon store, where I got 1.7Mbps DL.

Are you guys and gals happy with your data speed?
 
I've been speed testing every where I go.. litterally... I'm the data version of the "can you hear me now" guy lol! Highest speed on 3g to date was 2207 down / 956 up... slowest was 481 down and 234 up. Slightly OT....I am also very impressed with the phone's wifi speeds.. I have 10 mb road runner @ home and was getting on the wifi 9193 down / 1031 up. Testing conducted in Orange / Seminole counties Florida.

I live in a suburban town, and I didn't even know I got 3G here... but I do! (AT&T doesn't have 3G here, I like to rub it in all of my iPhone-owner friends)

Just ran speed test:
3G
Down: 853kbps
Up: 827kbps

I was impressed with the Upload speed, but I wish the download was better. Maybe I'll get a better score when I get towards the nearest metropolitan area.

WiFi
Down: 9,897kbps
Up: 1,115kbps

The Verizon ads on TV are accurate - ATT does not have much 3g coverage areawise.
