Article showing 12000 peoples results show Verizon as the fastest 3G network

[http://www.pcworld.com/article/167391/a\_day\_in\_the\_life\_of\_3g.html](http://www.pcworld.com/article/167391/a_day_in_the_life_of_3g.html)

Another thing to note is that both articles mention that the bar indicator for service is almost totally worthless
