Default Bold 9900 on 42mbps network?

Does anyone with a bold 9900 live in an area covered with T-Mobile's 42mbps hspa+ network?? If you do can you please tether your bold via usb to your computer and run a speedtest on speedtest.net. I'm curious to see if the bold benefits at all from the increase speed. I know its never going to hit 42mbps since the modem only goes up to 14mbps but I'm hoping it at least goes over 10mbps. I seem to only hit up to a max of 7mbps in my area with the 22mbps hspa+ network.

It won't make a big difference. The phone can't take advantage of the bonded carriers.

The bold chipset only supports 14.4mbps hspa+, so it's moot.

On my sgs2 I can get around 10-15mbps down on 48mbps hspa+.

14.4 is the theoretical max on 9900. 7 is really good. 10 would be fantastic. I doubt you ever see 14, but it would be nice. I'm hoping BB10 phones will get 20+ on TMO's hspa+ network.
