I can confirm there is EDGE in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. ZIP code 49006. I know in other parts of 49006 there is only GPRS, so I want to specify I got these speeds just west of downtown. I tethered to my laptop via Bluetooth and did a speed test on
Speedtest.net. My results were a whopping 94 kbit/s down and 25 kbit/s up. Pretty slow for EDGE, but far too fast to be GPRS.
The weird thing was, speedtest.net said my location was somewhere in Europe and that the closet server to use for the test was in London. I did the test in SW Michigan, so does anyone know why it thinks I'm in Europe?
