sounds typical. there should be no reason at that signal level you cant get the best from the tower.
if speeds are slow, then that is a product of the tower.
does a speedtest on your phone come in about the same as a speedtest off your device.?
some towers aren't lucky enough to be fed by a fibre. we have a 3g site here that is on a microwave link back towards the coast. even though you get full bars, the performance is shocking.
id expect to see anywhere around 5mbps on a 3g connection. can sometimes be higher but on average that's what I see.
standing at the exchange in town yields -50dbm ish.
just to clarify the measurement, -125dbm is bad
-50dbm is excellent
