| HSDPA's max speed is 14.4Mbps. |

said by Matt:Right, with a MAX OF 3.1Mbps AS THE SPEC SAYS. Right - which has nothing to do with the actual speed, the 800kb/s which is quite inferior to Cingular's usual startup HSDPA speed at 1.0-1.2Mb/s.
BTW that theoretical speed you are trumpeting is around 1/4th of HSDPA's 14Mb/s... |

Does anybody know what Cingular is using for a backhaul on HSDPA? If their using T1's then you won't come close to 14Mb/s. You won't even get 1.0Mp/s if more than one user is on it at one time. EVDO currently uses T1's, up to 4 max. 4 T1's gives you a pool of 6 Mb/s down and 6 Mb/s up. If HSDPA can pool T1's, it will compete with EVDO; if not, then I don't see it comparing. A fiber backhaul is the only way speeds will increase for both technologies.

EVDO currently uses T1's, up to 4 max. 4 T1's gives you a pool of 6 Mb/s down and 6 Mb/s up. First VZ uses all kind of connection, DSL, T1, anything it can to keep up with the demand, not solely T1s.
If HSDPA can pool T1's, it will compete with EVDO; if not, then I don't see it comparing. A fiber backhaul is the only way speeds will increase for both technologies.
Secondly as long as speed remains assymmetric there's nothing wrong with using all kind of connections. |

I have evdo in chicago not yet RevA and it's already at 900-1mbs on average for me. 800 is a very low estimate and only the guaranteed speeds. You'll get no guarantee with HSPDA above 7-900K in real life but you'll get EVDO RevA speeds. Similar only in that you may get a higher HSPDA speed early till you finally catch up in customers. |
