| Almost sounds like you're stuck w/ 1xRTT where ever you're at considering those speeds... At my home I only had 1xRTT up 'til just about a month ago which was indeed 50k-80k. I don't use this service at home (I have 5M DSL there) so it really was a non-issue. Just recently I discovered this area went straight from a 1x connect to EVDO Rev A! I also upgraded to a Sierra 595 card about a month ago too so that was a pleasant surprise... Sustained downloads are running around 1.5Mbps with uploads around 300kbps. Not too shabby! Worth waiting for IMO.
Also to note: Sprint seems to have enhanced their roaming capabilities now allowing 1xRTT roaming in Verizon areas. That's good news -- at least when I'm on the road this summer we should have a better chance of getting service in those areas where Sprint previously doesn't have service. We'll see! |
