myvzw is Verizon. How did you manage that on your iPhone? |

4 edits | DSLR always reports all my AT&T 3G cards as Verizon. AT&T and VZW are members of some WDSPCO wireless co-op which is what my 3G IPs all resolve to.
I thought it was some kind of roaming, but others mentioned that is not possible »Re: What IP does frys dot com resolve to |

Blanket statements like "It sucks" really doesn't prove anything, especially on this forum. read again. Not a blanket statement. Emphasis on "in more populous areas"

Pick your poison. Different sources at different times come to the same general conclusion.
Hell, search forums around the web (like) HowardForums and you'll see people using ATT's 3g and comparing it to T-Mobile's EDGE network on speed. That's just sad.

As for the speed test, is myvzw synonymous with ATT?
btw- all those edits have been to add links

4 edits | You can pick ANY service and find people complaining about speed issues. Even here we have reviews of people having issues with FiOS. The fact is that a blanket statement of AT&T 3G speeds being slow is horseshit. I routinely see 1500-2000kbps down and 900-1500kbps up from my AT&T 3G service.
And yes, with DSLR myvzw can cover AT&T as they are part of the same Wireless Co-Op WDSPCO »www.wdspco.org/ . Whenever I pull an IP from that Co-Op, DSLR says it's Verizon Wireless. It is certainly not that my AT&T cards are magically using EVDO.
Just did 2 more speed tests today with my AT&T 3G service and IP resolves directly to AT&T Business and as you can see I'm getting excellent throughput.
Depending on where I am in the county I may or may not get the coop but speeds are always fast.
EDITS - Added speed test results, links to WDSPCO coop and other assorted rantings. |
