Default Stronger 3G service?

Anybody else notice stronger 3G reception? Usually when I'm inside at work, my signal reverts to Edge. But for the past week I've noticed that it's been with full bars and 3G service. Same thing with other areas around Portland. Are any of you noticing the same thing?

No, I just got my 3G phone but it is still reverting to EDGE in the house and in some spots of my city.

Definitely stronger around here. I left for college at the end of August and had absolutely no 3G anywhere near me and had 3 bars at best in my room. Sometimes I'd even get kicked off Edge and it would take 3-4 minutes to reconnect.

Now, I'm getting almost full 3G service. Even all the way up at my college in Maine there's parts where I'll have 3G.

With this news, I'd hope people are starting to get better 3G service.

Potentially, I have a solid 5 bars in the house, but the power of suggestion is an amazing thing. I will hold my opinion for a few more posts confirming the increase

Since the latest update, I've have 5 bars most of the time at home whereas I'd be lucky to get 2 before.

I just noticed yesterday that I can now get a couple of bars of 3G in my office whereas before I could only get a couple bars of E. I'm in the north Dallas area.

I have noticed that 3G takes a while to get going. If I try to access the app store too soon after turning on my phone, I get a "cannot connect to store" message.
