Re: [EvDO] Cricket Broadband
I live near Pittsburgh and have been using Cricket wireless broadband for one week. For me the service has been great. Previously, my only option was dialup. With cricket broadband I get 500 kbps download speed during the day and 300 - 500 kbps in the evening. Thus far the service has performed flawlessly |

Switching from cable to cellular was your first mistake.
How are you running a speed test? |

I think the 5g cap pertains to throughput. Which I hasnt effected anything. All I know is its not what it is cracked up to be. |

| I have purchased the service and been using it for a month and from my experience it like using high speed dial up. I really hate it. You cant do any online game you purchase from a store. Download speeds topped off at 43 kb/s. Watching videos online is a chore. Simple web pages seem to take unusually long time to load for a so called broadband connection. DSL is a better choice but I think I will go back to cable or try another bradband wirless carrier. Cricket needs much improvement before it could even hang with the big boys. |
