14.4 Mbits! plus...a question

Now that my area has HSDPA, I did a speed test and pulled 14.4 Mbits. I thought the N1 could only do 7.2, but apparently I'm mistaken. A screenshot for any disbelievers. This was taken with a 2MB test. Higher MB tests slowed it some, but was still over 10 Mbits. Very awesome.

The only question I have is does anyone else's N1 switch back and forth between UTMS and HSDPA?
 
Terrible ping though. I may just get 2ish Mbps at my place, but my ping can hit the high 60s. Latency I find is more important than speed on a mobile phone. I would like those speeds on my dedicated internet though.
My ping is better on my phone than on my dedicated internet so I just use my phone for when I want to a play a little counterstrike. It's a shame t-mo doesn't have a front facing camera smartphone, yet.

A 2mb test is not accurate for these speeds. The test is over almost as soon is it has begun.

To get any accurate result the test should run for at least 20 seconds.
