Ditto here too near Detroit with a VM Optimus V. At home I am lucky to get 0.02Mbps. However, as soon as I cross the geographical border out of Detroit, I can get up to 2.00Mbps. I have noticed that the speed of the network "improves" "significantly" between 3am and 5am (I can sometimes get 0.10Mbps). It is completely unusable most of the time. I'm glad to see I am by far not the only one with this problem, but will VM actually do anything about it? Fat chance.
