| Very High Speeds With Sprint
Anyone getting ridiculously high speeds from Sprint today. I am seeing 2 or 3 times what I normally get. Have they upgraded anything?
I am in Maryland about half way between Baltimore and Washington DC
Have Millenicom unlimited Sierra 597 modem on a Cradelpoint MBR1000. I tested on an HP laptop with win XP PRO and a Netgear N wireless card.
Can EVDO Rev A even go this fast? I hope the speed lasts I love it.

| I don't even think the EVDO Rev. A standard is rated to go that fast. WOW! I hope that's actually an accurate result and not just Speedtest acting funny or something.
It's really slow for me today. You're stealing my bandwidth (somehow)!

Definitely something fishy with those numbers. As others have pointed out, EVDO maxes out at 3.1Mbps, and I don't think many users ever see that kind of speed. Your numbers are off the chart and who knows why? There's a thousand places things can go wrong on internet.
