big deal mi bredda... my phone is still saying bmobile... its the service that counts.... I have been doing some in depth research... and indeed toyanucci is correct... with WiFi... the Bold will max out about a 2mbps connection...so if you have an 8mb pipe, you wont go beyond 2mbps on the Bold... with 3G it also caps out at from about 600-900kbps... so in essence you only getting what RIM sees as adequate enough to enjoy, while preserving your Battery... makes sense in my book.... so that's why the peeps using LIME's 3G dongles will always experience speeds in excess of 2mpbs...
Question to HV can you upload a speed test from a Claro 3G dongle in the Claro 3G thread... I would love to compare... if it was already done I probably missed it...
Got this result on my Berry this morning. Haven't done a speed test in a lil while... but browsing is always super fast with LIME 3G... no lags...feels like I'm using my WiFi... I wonder which sucks more battery juice....3G or WiFi?

At thi point i'm tempted to think 3G, the tests that I have been doing showed that the battery got hot with minimal use as opposed to wifi.
in the long run though, 3G will definitely suck more battery because it will be constantly on where as wifi is only temporary.

Wow...Toyannuci I have never thought about it, but what you're saying does make sense especially on the notion that WiFi can max out at 3.5mbps on the Bold yet I am unable to get a full consistent 1mbps connection while on Claro or even while Testing on Lime?
Anyways I am gonna search the net and see if there is any support for your theory and if it's as you say then I will check for a work a round cause we FULLY breaking FREE this year
