Yeah...your connecting to a tower than can be up to 3 to 5 miles away...on CDMA towers they are capable of going as far as 30 to 45miles on flat ground (no hills)...so you have to factor in how far you are from the tower...where the tower is transmitting too...and so on...most if not all around you go somewhere else in the US to central hub...for instance if I was to do a speed test on my phone.....or a Evo 4G for that matter...the server it would default to is somewhere in the mid west...so yeah my tower is 1/4 down the street...but the server its going to is way far away...hence the latancy.
