Re: My unofficial tests don't match...

said by weaseled386 See Profile :

Okay, so they're not exactly tests. A coworker of mine had an AT&T 3G aircard, and I have a Verizon. On several occasions we've sat right beside each other to see how things load. In the middle of Orlando, Gainesville & Daytona Beach, Florida the Verizon chewed up the AT&T and spit it out!

I thought it may have been his laptop settings (he knows little about laptops & settings). So I loaded up the AT&T control panel and had the same result as he in my laptop.

Down here AT&T cell service is king. I just wish they would have branched their tests to other markets.
here, sprint cards run on average 2000 dn and 500 up and dwarfs at&t's 3g coverage in much of florida

Re: My unofficial tests don't match...

I'm on the Sprint EVDO rev0 (still waiting on my Touch revA update) and it's working pretty well ...

ATT doesn't have 3g available here.

Re: My unofficial tests don't match...

When I tethered my cellphone to my laptop, I had ~1Mbps down, and that was last August here in Los Angeles.

I'm also in Florida and I've seen speeds from 400-1400 kbps. As for AT&T being the fastest? Maybe next year when they finish they're upgrades (expecting 7Mbps down) but overall it's between Verizon and Sprint. There's an article that looks at all the providers side by side here »www.mobile-broadband-reviews.com/Comparison. It basically says that Sprint's got more coverage while Verizon is fully EVDO Rev A. Overall, Verizon beats them out.

If Urban, get Verizon, if rural, get Sprint.
