Is this normal?
Okay I am getting to point where I need to decide if I am keeping this HTC Aria. At work in the middle of tall building and concrete, the AT&T signal is great. They have been there for awhile. At home where the network is new, I can agree that their have delivered on their promise to be similar to the network I had before. However if I go out of my home town just a few miles, the signal drops quickly to EDGE or GPRS. It may be good voice signal strength, but I have to use my phone as my sole source for the internet when I am in that area for extended periods of time. This area had Verizon 3G. It might have been on their lower end of 3G, but I could easily use it without noticing a drop in speed.
Is normal EDGE speeds?
50 kbps down, 72 kbps up, 1188 ms
111 kbps dn, 88 kbps up, 1333 ms
111 kbps dn, 78 kbps up, 957 ms
122 kbps dn, 88 kbps up, 1095 ms
Are these normal 3G (HSPA) (selected results) speeds?
389 kbps dn, 129 kbps up, 388 ms (lowest test)
405 kbps dn, 97 kbps up, 256 ms
619 kbps dn, 97 kbps up, 389 ms
726 kbps dn, 92 kbps up, 542 ms
990 kbps dn, 131 kbps up, 423 ms
1212 kbps dn, 102 kbps up, 184 ms
1546 kbps dn, 136 kbps up, 1506 ms
1868 kbps dn, 114 kbps up, 356 ms (highest test)
For comparison Verizon 3G (selected results)
1751 kbps dn, 828 kbps up, 287 ms (highest test)
1555 kbps dn, 738 kbps up 257 ms
1202 kbps dn, 537 kbps up, 332 ms
985 kbps dn, 806 kbps up, 316 ms
880 kbps dn, 352 kbps up, 349 ms
594 kbps dn, 834 kbps up, 278 ms
428 kbps dn, 388 kbps up, 534 ms
244 kbps dn, 432 kbps up, 314 ms (lowest test)
126 kbps dn, 168 kbps 12 ms (I think this one was 1x)
All the speed tests were done with Ookla's speedtest.net app for android.
The download speeds seems to be about equal between networks. The upload for AT&T is just SAD. The ping latency on AT&T can vary a bit. I only put one example of the 3G on here, but there were others that were in the 1000+ ms for tests. The EDGE latency is just as bad.
What do you as AT&T users think?
Can AT&T's signal range widely while been in one place? I went from displaying three bars to zero in the span of minutes. It will do this all day in my home.
Sorry for the blurry camera shots. The other phone just couldn't focus that close.
Probably from mobile, maybe. :)

Ran a test this morning and a couple more just a bit ago at my place of employment. These are my numbers so far:
95 5834 1295
99 5358 1283
88 6071 1281
Hello HSPA+!!! Apparently having the upload speed capped was hammering the download speed due to the increased latency, which proved to be quiet a bit.

Sadly I was working with a HTC Aria. However the network failed for me more than the device.

Yes. I posted several times that I was in an upgraded area, yet would only get 2-3 mbps service, even as AT&T denied that the Inspire was capped. It is unleashed now. Now if only AT&T would remove that silly installing from unknown sources restriction, I would have a near perfect device.

Now that I have hsupa enabled and using Sideload Wonder Machine is such a breeze, I will put off rooting. I would love to remove the bloatware on the phone, but have no intentions of rooting just for that. Yes, I'm loving Android and having no regrets of switching over from WinMo.
