3G Speed Tests in Southern California - Thunderbolt General

I went to play with a Thunderbolt at the Thousand Oaks Verizon store and did some speed tests. I was sad to find out that my area definitely doesn't have 4G and according to the reps, it won't have 4G until the end of the year at the earliest. But hey, if you're in Los Angeles, you'll get blazing fast speeds. Anyway, not sure if this is helpful at all, but here are the 3G results:

That's a bummer, I'm in Los Angeles but in a very good 4g coverage area. I'm averaging about 15-20mb down and about 5-7mb up. The trade off though is my battery life is abysmal. Oh well, that's price of admission for 4g

New Multi-Carrier Tower Miller Beach Indiana

Snapped some pictures of the tower that will finally get rid of miller spotty @$$ reception. There are supposed to be many carriers on it...Cingular, Sprint/Nextel, Verizon, and I think I may have even heard something about U.S. Cellular. Man the people that own the land are gettin paid, how much money you think they pull in from that?

Batter question:
To how much more radiation will the people in the neighborhood be exposed? It is 3G right?
Actually this is the only one in miller, and i was wondering is there any way I will be able to tell if its 3G?

4G Testing In My Market.

Looks like Sioux Falls is getting it's 4G tested. I noticed I switched to 4G a couple times between 4-5PM. It would last 5 minutes or so.
I managed to run a couple speed tests.

Nice! Glad more people are finally starting to get it. That upload speed seems kinda slow though.

g2 vs mt4g slide data speeds

I have a g2 and my GF has the slide. I decided to do speed tests and i find it weird that my uploads are like double hers . Her download is much faster than mine however since my phone is 14mbps max and hers is 21mbps . Both are from the same houston server. Ill continue testing different areas but yea just thought i share how weird it is.
I got the G2 and the Wife got the MT4GS, i did speed test and my G2 clocked 12mbps down and hers was only in the 7 range, upload speeds for both were about 2. I also tested it at different times got the same result.
On my mt4g I got this. Its hit or miss with my tests.

[Q] Can the Blaze be used on AT&T?

I've seen a few threads with various answers to this question. Some say that the Blaze T769 from T-mobile works fine on AT&T's network with speeds of 3-5 mpbs. Others say they can only get 2G speeds. I would like to use the Blaze on AT&T's network and want to be sure of what speeds I'll get.
Based on specs, it looks like I should get coverage on everything but AT&T's 700MHz band, but I'm not that savvy on this technology, so I don't know what other issues there may be. What can I expect?

If I'm not mistaken it should work perfectly fine if it's unlocked. But you will never get anything LTE.

Did AT&T stop throttling unlimited data customers?

I am well past my 5GB limit on my unlimited data plan and I still have full internet speed. I'm at 5.73GB and there is no throttling. In the past, as soon as I got close to my data cap my speeds would slow to 0.5 Mnps. Right now I'm still getting 20 Mbps speeds. Anyone else notice this?

I thought I read that they were going to put that in effect early 2015. Maybe they started already (merry Christmas?). I'm with T-Mobile, so I can't confirm or deny.
