give the benefit of the doubt

English term or phrase: give the benefit of the doubt
We used a different phone, the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, to test T-Mobile’s 4G network in a few cities, including San Francisco, and overall we were pleased with the solid 4G-like speeds: The Galaxy S 4G averaged 3.38 mbps for downloads and 1.13 mbps for uploads. Though its numbers couldn’t hold a candle to the blazing speeds we clocked on Verizon’s LTE network (18.30 mbps and 7.39 mbps), T-Mobile’s 4G network did outperform both AT&T’s HSPA+ network and Sprint’s WiMax network.
我们在包括旧金山的几个城市，使用一款不同的手机三星：Galaxy S 4G来测试T-Mobile的4G网络，我们总体上对类似4G的高速度感到满意：Galaxy S 4G的下载速度平均为3.38 mbps，上传速度平均为1.13 mbps。虽然该数字没法与我们在韦里逊的LTE网络上测得的飞快速度（18.30 mbps和7.39 mbps）相比，但T-Mobile的4G网络确实比AT&T的HSPA+网络和斯普林特的WiMax网络胜出一筹。
With those results in mind, I have to*** give T-Mobile the benefit of the doubt*** with regard to the rather dismal speeds we achieved with the G2X. The South Park neighborhood of San Francisco (where PCWorld is located) has never been a strong area for T-Mobile. When I tested closer to downtown, the G2X did much better, delivering transfer speeds of 4.23 mbps for downloads and 1.12 mbps for uploads.
考虑到上述测试结果，***就我们使用G2X时测得的相当差的速度而言，不得不认为T-Mobile的网络速度很高***。旧金山的南方公园区（《PCWorld》杂志的所在地）从来就不是T-Mobile网络信号很强的地区。我靠近市中心测试时，G2X的表现好得多，提供了4.23 mbps的下载速度和1.12 mbps的上传速度。

give sth the benfit of the doubt的意思是：在没有相反证据之前给予的肯定判断。
但不知这里如何处理，尤其是要与后面的with regard to衔接起来。谢谢指正！

Chinese translation:虽然使用G2X时测得的速度相当差，我还是不得不认为T-Mobile的网络速度很高
Explanation:
从后文所述，‘旧金山的南方公园区。。。。。上传速度。‘可以看出， 文中所指的G2x所测的低速度相对于‘上述结果’来说，显然是一个情有可原的例外 （本身那个地区速度就低）。在这个情况下，give the benefit of the doubt 指在没有相反证据来证实T-mobil的速度低之前，在大部分证据都是正面的情况下，不得不给予它的速度肯定判断。

with regard to 在这里应该是'就...来说'的意思,但是我认为从把整句话的中文意思表达的更流利的角度来说,可以用'虽然'. 或者你可以译成: 就使用G2X时测得的很差的速度来说,我还是不得不认为T-Mobile的网络速度很高. 但是我觉得这样译不如用'虽然'来的明了.

我姑且先认可T-Mobile的网络速度


Explanation:
考虑到上述测试结果，我姑且先认可T-Mobile的网络速度，尽管我们使用G2X时所测得的速度并不理想。
姑且本身就有让步的意思，可以不再翻译have to了。
作者认为应该暂且肯定上文的测试结果，因为“我们的测试结果”不能作为很好的证据。为什么？后文说“旧金山的南方公园区（《PCWorld》杂志的所在地）从来就不是T-Mobile网络信号很强的地区。”

希望能抛砖引玉。

没有确定之前，删除 T-M 就 （存疑）不做决定


Explanation:
This English phrase does not express the idea very precisely. A simple and straight expression is preferred. But, since it is here, I tried to accommodate.

Asker: 倾向于你的版本！但是，with regard to这里处理成“虽然”有点没转过弯来。
