I think he's confusing kilobits and kilobytes.
The card uses EV-DO where available (in major urban areas) and CDMA everywhere else. EV-DO's average speed is around 400-700 kilobits per second downstream. It can top out at 2.4 mbps, but you'd have to be sitting on the tower to get those speeds. In terms of upload speeds, the fastest you'll see is about 90 kbps.
CDMA speeds are pretty similar to dial-up. Top speed is 56 kbps, but you won't see higher than 44 kbps, which is 5.5 KB/s. The upstream speed on CDMA isn't even worth talking about.
