VZ needs to change there EULA. But Vz has alot more coverage area to upgrade then Sprint does. Kudos for sprint.

Could be to the point that VZ has something up there shirt getting ready to come out remember when FIOS came out we all where like WOW. I think VZ has something going on right now if you ask me. They are watching the testing over seas to find out which is a better system to use. What you ask, faster speeds like over in Asia running what was it 30 mbps. (correct me if im wrong)

Just my .02 in this

I always heard it as VZ has more square miles of EVDO, and Sprint has more cities (markets) with EVDO. Im in Queens NYC, but strangly I can get Sprint EVDO but not Verizon EVDO at my house.

Rev. A latency

quote:
While the faster speeds are obviously nice, the real benefit to Revision A is the significantly reduced latency, which in upgraded markets should be somewhere around 50ms. Many first generation EVDO users report a latency range of 200ms to 500ms; even higher in saturated markets.
Someone know an article or press release where this comes from? I haven't read anywhere else about the latencies being lower.

Sightings

People have posted their [EVDO A] sightings here:

RevA does have better latency

RevA has latency that can go as low as 50-80ms if near the tower. A demo was posted on evdoforums.com. Rev0 latency is about 130-150ms best case, up to 400ms+. Of course RevA could be over 200ms if not near tower or lots of obstructions.

Sprint covers over 170m pops with EVDO RevA/0 and will have 200m by end of year. Verizon is only in the 150s with Rev0 only.

Re: .......

The VZ cell towers around me dont have EVDO, I get 5 bars on 1x, zero to 1 bar on EVDO (when I force my phone onto EVDO), its hell for me since my phone (Moto E815) constantly sits on a unusable EVDO signal in my neighborhood, I get 0 bars, then it switches to 1x after 1-3 minutes and gets 5 bars. I live in Jamaica Estates.
