    is that not how much you can download in a month, not the download speed?

    get the 'speedtest' app from the market. publisher is ookla. it is advert free, unlike the extreme speedtest app.

    you can use it for 3g speedtest or wifi speedtest, depending on how you are logged into the internet on your handset.

    I have to say I never found the 1GB throttled in any way compared to the 3GB I am now on.
