Do speed tests count as a measure local usability? http://www.cultofmac.com/the-iphone-4-death-grip-is-real-but-does-it-matter/48335 http://www.cultofmac.com/th

  I would trust an unaffiliated speed test app or website server-side analysis much, much more than any count of signal-bars. My point is that people are putting a lot of stock in signal-bars, assuming if there are 4-5 bars local service is good (and conversely that drops in signal-bar count mean bad service). That's not my experience in SF at all; the correlation used to exist, but in the last year, it broke. I can have usable calls at 0-2 bars; I can be unable to initiate or hold a call at 4-5 bars. It's some other capacity issue that's not measured with signal-bars that's AT&Ts giant problem.

    I can completely, 100% pause the progress of the "Xtreme Speedtest" app with very light pressure applied by two fingers. A little over 2,200kbs untouched. 0kbs when lightly holding it with two fingers. I'm starting with 5 bars reception here in my office too, not a weak signal.
