That might actually be possible, If you look at the 4G card speeds they can reach that in some areas, I live in Cincinnati and work at Best Buy, as i took one home and got speeds close to that
According to the info i translated it into
thats a whopping (**fixed speed**)
34345 Kbps
= 257.59 MB/min
= 4.29 MB/s
= 34.35 Mbps
= 4.09 MiB/s
= 15.46 GB/h
Makes sense since there really is hardly anyone on the network, when the network gets to capacity the numbers will drop to more realistic levels, on average we should still see around 10-13meg speeds
Its the same tweets as I pictured in my post right after it. (click on the link to go to my post to see the picture)
I returned my DX at BestBuy after 13 days on Saturday. I called my VZW to make sure that the contract had been reversed. The person at my local store said that their system does not show a reversal, but that I should try Customer Care.
At customer care, I spoke to Jesse, about this and that I never got my new every two. He said that it could take 10 days for my contract to revert back to the old expiration date. I was not happy, so I explained to him, rather tersely, that I have gotten nothing but bad information from both VZW and BestBuy (which isn't his fault). I told him that I had to return the DX because I get no signal in my office, so I need something on the 700 MHz frequencies for better building penetration. I asked him when they will have a 700 MHz phone available, and he said "we have no launch date for the Thunderbolt."
I then asked him how much my early termination fee would be for all 3 lines, because I can't wait 10 days or possibly longer before I get a 700 MHz phone. He put me on hold, and here is the relevant part...
Jesse came back on the line and said "we just got confirmation that the Thunderbolt will be launched on March 17." He also said that there would be NO online presale. I think that VZW reps know the launch date, but are not allowed to say it for some reason. It seems that Jesse got special permission to tell me the date because they didn't want to lose an already upset customer to a competitor. Take this information for what it is worth. It isn't definitive without an "Official" announcement, but it is one more piece of the puzzle that points towards St. Paddy's day.

but of course lte network is only running air cards right now, let the bolt be released an more lte phones, network will start to fill up
That's my understanding too.
VZW gives you 14 days to return it and walk, or exchange it for another phone.
BB as you say, 14/30 policy as said.
That does give BB a leg up, IMO...
Yeah, who and when did this WHO say What?
I updated the speeds guys, its not 50Meg but here's what the speeds translate out to, i jumped the gun on the first post, but i did fix the post
Here's what it should be:
34345 Kbps
= 257.59 MB/min
= 4.29 MB/s
= 34.35 Mbps
= 4.09 MiB/s
= 15.46 GB/h
You TOO can translate bandwidth speeds into formulas you CAN read!

I don't think Blue's network was ready for HSUPA, which is why it is disabled. I read this weekend that they are going to roll out a firmware OTA to enable HSUPA.
