ok i got a question, when i was still an alltel customer and would run a speed test with my phone tethered to my pc, it would always show the closest server on www.speedtest.net was in kansas city, which as far as i knew was like the home office area of alltel, but now that we are verizon it shows that it is in albuquerque nm!! ok i know this doesn't really mean anything but whats the deal. it still shows my isp is alltel, and i know i have "verizon" service now with my old alltel plan. is verizon like putting us on like a back burner and just junking out our service?? my data has not been the same since the change. i was just wondering if this is anything or just me.

lol by the way, this is my speed results with me being in the city, less then a mile of 3 towers in rA coverage!!!

try to pick the same server you had before and see if you get the seame results.
