First, have you tried turning data roaming on? It won't charge you anything unless you go outside of the US. Next have you tried forgetting/resetting all of your network settings and re-doing them? That appears to have been a fix.
Also you may want to do a hard reset on the phone press the sleep and home buttons at the same time for 20 seconds or until the phone shows the apple logo. Report back!
thanks for the reply. yes, i have my data roaming on already. i have reset network settings and have gone as far as restoring the phone. this is terrible. just tried to run another speed test. and its depressing.
Might wanna take it into apple/verizon.
my speeds are ok at my home however, so im guessing it isnt the hardware. but i would like some confirmation from someone else in manhattan if they are having speed issues as well.

I us my iPhone in central NJ and have found that the data speed on the 3G network varies with the location. For this reason, I doubt that the iPhone is malfunctioning but rather it's the network.
I have never had any cell phone from ANY provider that provided consistent data and features ALL the time from every sinlge spot I've been in, have you?
