Novatel 720 - Slow speeds - Sprint Mobile Broadband

Last night the speeds were back where they were originally but this morning at 5:00 am back slow again. It is possible I am bouncing to another tower? Can I lock onto the closest one? My dbm was always mid 70's and not mid 90's. I am running an external antenna now....

The download can be found at the bottom of this page: »shop2.sprint.com/en/software_dow···20.shtml You can have both SmartView and this installed at the same time. Just use one or the other after you lock it in. -- ... need help? »evdo-tips.com/
