When I had my TP and TP2 I was getting between 1800 and 2400 until February of this year. The CDMA 3G standard (EvDO)is slower than the GSM standard of HSPA which can output speeds of up to 21mbps like I recently got at a t-mobile store on an HD7. I don't expect insane speeds like that when I make the switch but with that at least I know I'll never get below 1000.
HSPA can do more then 21mbps, it can do 42mbps. Also CDMA can do better too with Evdo Rev B and Evdo Rev C (UMB)..there is also the new DO Advanced.
