All through the late afternoon and evening yesterday, I continued to get the poor download speed, and usually the upload speed was also poorer than the numbers above.
I just tried it again - 10:40 AM EDT, same location, Wifi off, and once again got SPEED!
Download - 3.25 megabits per second
Upload - 0.96 megabits per second
A couple of minutes later ... slower....
And if I hold the iPhone 4 in my left hand (I'm left-handed), then my palm at the base of my thumb bridges the 2 antennas, my signal strength goes to zero, and I cannot even contact the Speednet servers....
