I ran mobilespeedtest.com using 1mb file and guess what...hers running on EVDO averaged 500kbps and mine average 1300kbps running on 1x. I did this multiple times getting same results.

I'm just simply impressed with metropcs.

You were both on 3G. "The 1X standard supports packet data speeds of up to 153 kbps...". You were running at ~10x the theoretical 1x standard.
