Does your city have enough 3G for your to take advantage of?

The Gizmodo crew captured this info for us.

After a grueling eight-city coast-to-coast test of the 3G networks run by AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, we’ve come up with some clear-cut test results. Think you know who has the best network? Think again.

AT&T had troubles in the Northeast and Chicago, but down the coast in Raleigh and over in Austin, it’s probably no surprise that the southern Bell conglomerate came out victorious. On the West Coast, it was a toss-up except in Portland, where Verizon couldn’t quite keep it together.

Even when the download performance was crappy, AT&T’s upload talents shined through, indicating that the congestion argument could hold merit. So, for the time being anyway, if you’re into sending big files, or running some kind of masochistic mobile torrent service, AT&T is the right choice.
