I was on the phone with technical support asking them about why my Eris is always showing 1x reception at my house and in the areas near it while others with VZW with different phone have EVDO/3G showing. The tech guy said that even when connected under 1x that I am getting 3G speeds since 1x is now upgraded to 3G speeds. Is the tech guy right or is he blowing smoke? I can't tell if the speeds I am getting really full 3G speeds. They kind of feel like the lower end of 3G, but only thing I can really compare it to my wifi connection, but that not really fair as wifi is faster. So should I go to a store and have my phone switched or is there nothing to worry about? thanks.
