Apple iPad on AT&T 3G: Ping was always over a half second, which I found odd. Motorola Droid on Verizon (rev "a" EVDO): Ping was always less than 200 ms. Download speeds varied widely, from 536 kbps to 1,336 kbps. Download speed average was 832 kbps. Upload also varied widely, from 485 kbps to 795kbps.
