Re: Hows your speed for July?
You still are using the same connection from Sprint. The difference now is you can use more bandwidth per month. Not related to speed. I'm still on the 59/mo plan.

-85 to -90 Rx power, Ec/Io -1.2 dB
Will post again if I can get better signal numbers somewhere else in the house. |

Just tried a few downloads from high-bandwidth sources (SoftLayer-Dallas and Revision3) and both of them topped out at 150-160 KB/s (1200-1280 kbps) with a signal that fluctuated between -65 and -75 and 9since it's 1:30 in the morning) a tower loading factor of pretty much zero.
On uploads, if my FTP client is reading out correctly (FileZilla) I'm pushing 550-800 kbit/s. This is to a shared hosting account on a SoftLayer server that's on a 100 Mbit port, so granted this is pretty much a best case scenario. Still, nice numbers. FWIW, they're comparable to what I've gotten with my Touch pro, which seems to have comparable reception to this CDU-680 I'm using, if not better.
Also, the Sprint-based DSLR-style tests at »sprint.com/speedtest are totally lacking in quality as far as uploads are concerned, and somewhat downloads.
Lastly, I tested at testmy.net and downloads again appeared to be ~1.2 Mbit/s. Uploads again are weirding out on me...I'll trust the numbers on the FTP upload as I was uploading a Quicktime video to a server that's to my knowledge at near-zero load right about now. |

| Cool. Doesn't make particular sense (hello speedtest folks, what's going on here) but glad I'm not alone here.
Also, looks like the tower the Franklin was connecting to is a single-T1 affair. Need to go around town and see what towers are dual-T1 or better. Kinda disappointing really. |

Comcast cable in Richmond. Strange the up is way faster than the down. How about the latency to Ashburn?

| The huge upload speed is due to PowerBoost on uploads as well as downloads. Looks like you're on a crowded node or something.
Anyway, looks like I'm pulling down 900-1200 kbps this morning. Again this is with a pretty strong signal. Data sync rate keeps fluctuating though...tower load is -3 to -1.
FTP upload is around 550-650 kbps. |

| I'm at my daughters today and just playing around with her comcast service. My tower in Mathews up until this week has been lightly loaded but it looks like a couple may have joined me on it. At least one of them is a big time downloader. I was at 300-400 down for extended periods with around 400 up. I hope that is not something that is going to be a norm now. |

My speed has changed from a meg to between 25 KBs and 40Kbs- do the sprint modems go bad often because I have had it for 2 years? I have changed absolutely nothing and was getting great speeds for two years with no antenna. I am right down the road from Dmarks who is reporting great speed |
