Hey so I'm on Mobilicity right now and their service is pretty terrible so I'm planning on getting the $30 Text-Browsing-100 Minutes plan from Speakout. On Mobilicity the speeds are around 1.8mbps, but during peak hours its extremely slow at 400kbps. How is the data speed on speakout? During peak hours? Off peak hours?

Thanks!

Wow thats pretty fast. But does it get really slow during peak hours, such as around 12pm on weekdays?

that is always the case if you are in a crowded(everyone is using the cell phone data) area and SO may be at the bottom of the priority list.

I saw once in Kits area that it drops to EDGE

But for most case, i don't notice slow down. That said, I don't run speed test all the time
