Again as per Paul's comments on EDGE thats optimal conditions i.e. just you in the cell standing next to the base station. But interestingly it also only refers to the speed between your handset and the base station. Operator backhaul from the base station to the core network is likely to be less than that so in reality its all a bunch of pretty meaningless numbers....... Don't you love marketing ;-) The figure of 7.2 Mbps with HSDPA is also kind of misleading.

Most real life tests i have seen data on have peaked around 60 kbs at best.
