I’m not complaining, but its misleading to say you will get 3g speeds when i’m lucky to get 200 kbps up and 100kbps down

…EV-DO won’t support the multi-megabit speeds of Metro’s LTE network, but even its typical 300 Mbps-plus connections will support pretty much any application on a smartphone, save video streaming. …

you probably mean 300 kbps-plus instead of 300 Mbps-plus
