Verizon Data Sloooow. Ipad 2

[Tarkio]

Wow..that sucks. Maybe you should use it in a couple different areas to see if the signal gets better...but if you definitely can't use it in places that you are often..you should definitely see if you can exchange or get a refund or something.

For me it has nothing to do with location, it's all about overloaded networks. Even though I had full bars, my ATT iPad would slowdown and completely stall during the afternoon on work days. In the same location, with full bars, my new Verizon iPad2 is consistently fast, any time of day.

Boston, NY, San Francisco are all markets where ATT's networks are waaay overloaded and almost unusable at certain times of day. Like I mentioned, ATT was so bad in Boston that I gave up my unlimited plan for better data speed.

I was asking about this over at another forum, but these are the speeds I got when comparing my iPad1 vs iPad2 64 gb using the same speedtest app.. I'm baffled (yes, wifi is off) I'm going to try again later this evening and maybe bring it out with me today.

If this is a network flux... It's better to flux UPWARDS instead of DOWNWARDS as it used to do always with iPhone 4 and iPad1. Sometimes, I'd show full bars but get super slow data or none at all! That is NOT worth the money. Crossing fingers and if anyone has any insight to the above, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's almost like having an LTE iPad!

If the verizon test is off of 3G then that test is flawed as a Mofo..***** 3G and 4g speeds aren't even that fast so how in the world could it pull those numbers? That verizon test must be off of a home based wireless high speed network cuz verizon mobile 3G and 4g networks are not that fast...I call bluff..lol
