Anyone have T-Mobile HSPA+ in Los Angeles?

How are the speeds?

I currently have Sprint EVO and get 2-6 mbps and average 3-4 mbps consistently where I live and work. Going to get the Nexus S for a startup biz and wondering what the speeds are like.

I have it in OC, usually about 3-6 mbps, but I've gotten up to 8 before.

If I remember correctly, the Nexus S doesn't have hspa+

Only the G2 and MT4G have HSPA+ on T-mobile

you should still see 3-4mbps with the nexus S in good coverage areas, which i hear LA is.

Wait, how does nexus S get 3-4 mbps without HSPA+?

HSDPA's theoretical limit is 7.2 mbps. In areas that have HSPA+ towers, even phones that have HSDPA have seen an increase in real-world speeds. I get 3-5 mbps down on my Nexus One regularly in HSPA+ covered areas of Portland. With a strong signal I can get 5-6 mbps.
