I went by a AT&T tower today to test out my iPhones 3G speed as well as signal.

This tower is located at 92nd and Federal Blvd in Westminster Colorado.
It's a huge tall tower and there are two others in the immediate area. Across the street from the tower, I had 5 full bars though my download speed fluctuated according to my iNetwork app. A few times it seemed very slow, and the best time is seen in one of the screen caps below.

As I drove away from the tower five blocks away, my signal dropped to 3 bars. At my home, I am about 1.5 miles away from the tower, my speeds fluctuate and I have seen as high as 1.1GB but that is rare.

You can see one tower above the tree above the roof and the other tower to the right. In the second photo, my speedtest using the iNetwork app.
