Verizon Touch Pro 2 Data Speeds

[GDOG11324]

What is the average speed I can be expecting for data over the Verizon network? (in an EV-DO Rev. A area)

With my old XV6800 (Running a custom ROM) I measured speeds over 2mbps, however I only had that phone on a data plan for several days. Running my Touch Pro 2 in the same area I usually hit around 700 kbps.

Is this normal? And is anyone else having the same problem, if it indeed a problem? I called Verizon and spoke to a customer service rep and he said between 400-700k is normal and expected with bursts up to 1.2mbps.
