Verizon, Chicago, Blackberry Pearl 8130. When I chose either of the two smaller files I got an error message "unstable/too fast a result-choose a larger file." When I chose the 1 MB file I got 1632 kbit/sec

Sorry, but I forgot to mention that I received this message when I went to download the file: Blackberry browsers do not support javascript. Opera mini can be installed on a blackberry, however, the blackberry network diverts all web traffic via proxy servers, which strip pages of 'un-necessary' data before sending them to your device! This speed test relies on 'un-necessary' data to calculate download speed.
Since I have a Blackberry, the result I received may be artifically lower.

wow...that's a really fast connection. like I said, mine's close to 1mbps. I wonder if verizon is launching EVDO-revision B in your area...
...
Rev B is not something VZW has launched. Besides... to use Rev B or even Rev A... You need a Rev B or Rev A device. Only Aircards are Rev A at this time. Some PDA's are Rev A upgradable, but none are Rev A now. If Verizon go Rev B before the LTE launch you will see some news on Phonescoop's main page saying who is providing the chipset for vzw Rev B infrustructure, I.E. Alcatel-Lucent
Currently, all VZW's EVDO network is Rev A.
