Re: Mobile Broadband

Will, the D/L is not faster than WB. The upload is usually about 3x faster. I average 1200 down/ 350 up. Where it really shines is the latency (or lack of), which for me is around 120-200ms. This, of course, knocks the socks off WB and makes your browsing experience really fly in comparison. Adding to that,the no FAP unlimited policy with Sprint and the decision becomes glaringly easy to make. It is well worth it. I would never return to WB. EVDO arrived in Mathews around the middle of 2007. There are towers at Soles and Blakes. Peruse the Sprint forums here on DSLreports for lots of tips and tweaks.

Good Luck!

Jim,
Is the D/L faster since you do not have the latency issue that comes with Wild Blue? I have Wild Blue's premium service and I have never achieve 1500 / sec. It's more like 160 - 250. How does the down loads compare between the two? I download from itune frequently and would hope sprint would give me a better D/L experience.
