Re: Post your Sprint 3g speeds

too many people using your tower?
Sprint's totally inadequate infastructure to support the number of devices it sells?
Nothing to do with Millenicom it's all Sprint. You are not being throttled....it's all they've got in your location.

During times of low use by others, I can get 1M down and .80 up. But most of the time I get this slow speed, High ping service.

Well almost no one uses the tower I use but then I guess it could go much faster. Anyways I got it going good again it connected to a good ha so I then said ha ha. I get a maximum now of 1.3Mbps it just isn't stable. The latency gets slow at times and goes fast as .6Mbps

cbobby it's unfortunate you are apparently on a loaded down tower. Sprint on a good tower is awesome IMO although the hogs sometimes limit me when they are streaming video

Yes it is Verizon and they have been driving me nuts lately. The only tower in my area is near a community college. I can tell when the students are back. Smart phones are choking the fiber line from the tower. No other choice around her.

Dialup is 18kb down. No DSL and no cable. Did Hughesnet back in 2009. Too much latency for my wife to work remotely.

The setup I had through Millenicom worked great and I don't blame them. It's the phone companies selling services that they cannot support.

Regards,

Joe

cbobby is there any other service available to you? Perhaps Verizon? The broadband is there and the majority are getting reasonable performance for wireless.

Well I can easily tell you these speed tests aren't always accurate no matter which one you use. As sprint ever since I have used it has its speed go up and down and is almost never stable.
Here is the most stable test I have had thus far:
Download Speed: 941 kbps (117.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 300 kbps (37.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 157 ms

I am in a very rural area where everyone around me can get highspeed internet. But in the center where I am I can not. They all just went around me. Anyways my speeds on my download manager go up as high as 200KBps and a little higher but never stays there it stays as high as 170-180KBps. Just got to get lucky enough to get a good home agent or even customize it to the best home agent you can get.

Not sure if this will help anything but I was told by millenicom to switch my adapter to home network instead of public. So I did so and it seems that my speeds went back up. They were extremely slow for no reason then I switched it to home and they went back to normal but still aren't perfectly stable enough for speed tests:
Download Speed: 941 kbps (117.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 606 kbps (75.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 201 ms

But oddly enough they are mostly stable enough to get almost 1Mbps like I am suppose to get in such an area where everyone else has high speed and doesn't need mobile broadband.
