Re: That's faster than their DSL in many cases The cellular advertised speeds are only applicable when you are the only person accessing their network in an area. The real life speeds plummet when you are in a major metropolitan area with lots of other users accessing their network.
I'm in Houston and have cellular cards for Sprint, Verizon, and ATT. All three networks average around 200Kbps to 500Kbps down and 50Kbps to 300Kbps up throughout the day.
Get outside Houston and average speeds are more like 1Mbps to 1.5Mbps down and 300Kbps to 500Kbps up. |

kudos:1 | Totally correct. Last weekend I had the pleasure of updating a friends computer with an Alltel EVDO card for interweb access. Up until 12:30 am or so I was getting 100-200k down, after 12:30 am or so, it was like someone flipped a switch. I was downloading at 1 meg + from Microsoft and test sites. |
