I tether a Evdo connection from my Sprint Touch from numerous different locations (Depending on where Im traveling) and as long as there is an Evdo signal (regardless of how strong) I always get between 1-1.9mbs. How far or close I am to a tower, I dont know, and frankly dont care, because Im getting and loving my fast download and upload speeds. So I'd say using speedtest.net for Evdo speed tests is pretty reliable.
