I usually get 1.5-2mb down on At&t (who also just upgraded to the 7.2mbps).
So really, the only time you would see the higher speeds is if you're in an area that has very little usage on that site when you're trying to use it, otherwise you'll max out at the 3.2mbps and you'll be lucky if you see that.
With that said, both At&t and T-Mobile have said they are going to spend quite a bit of money to improve the backhaul this year, so things should continue to get better.

Well averaging 1.5-2MB is better than anyone is averaging on Sprint right now.
And note everyone- this is on AT&T- the network everyone has been ripping lately.
T-Mobile has the exact same technology, and a lot less network congestion. And they are in the process of tripling their data speeds- they say the network upgrade to 21 meg HSPA+ will be done mid 2010...
