Re: Good signal, low speeds

said by Belinrahs See Profile :

Hey everyone. I have a Franklin CDU-680 from Millenicom I got a while ago - I recently mounted and connected the 32" omni external antenna from 3GStore to improve my signal, and it did improve to about -72dBm. However I'm still a little unsatisfied with the speed.

That isn't super bad, but at my signal I should be able to get better speeds. My location is Nashville, MI zip 49073. I get constant EVDO Rev. A just fine, no problem as long as I'm connected to the omni. Any help is appreciated very much!

Thanks, Beli
If you are on a single T-1 tower your speed is very good. The most you can expect with a perfect signal strength is around 1.2MB down.

Here's my results with a -72dBm signal. Single T-1 tower.
