Then why do Rev.A users see 2-4mb? :hmm:
In your dreams lol
The vast majority of RevA users get the exact same downstream you are getting right now on Revision 0. I've been on RevA for a few months and never see over 1250 k. I've also traveled a few hundred miles and never seen any faster than this in any of the areas i got RevA coverage in. As others have mentioned, not all towers provide the bandwidth to pull 2+ mb even though the wireless technology itself is capable. If you're lucky, you might be connected to a tower with more capacity, and might be able to pull 2 mb. Look at the speed test results for spcsdns.net.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18756893 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 09:37:35 EDT Re: Sprint Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18755556 tc1uscg :

There are plenty over on evdomaps.com that were able to get 2-2.5Mbps on RevA. But that's the exception, now the rule. Most get 600k-1.4mbps.

BTW, Sprint WiMAX will also have combo cards that can do EVDO as well.
On that note.. Dell laptops will be shipping with built in evdo-A.. one has to wonder how long behind will it be for them to ship laptops with both platforms. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18755556 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:30:02 EDT Re: Sprint Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18752785 anon : There are plenty over on evdomaps.com that were able to get 2-2.5Mbps on RevA.

I heard that they are going to use the WiMax to backhaul the EVDO towers. True or not? I dono. Just what I heard in the ole rumor mill.

I have a RevA card in a RevA area. I am the only person on my tower (very rural area). I get 1300 down. The capacity is on in the card to handle 3.1mbps, but the tower can't push it since it doesn't have a big enough pipe. But, like I said, my upload and latency is greatly improved.

When we go Rev.A here I can't imagine how much faster it'll be. Now with WiMax becoming a reality Sprint is positioning itself well.
