kudos:2 | Upload speed is ?? From Oct. 6 article on test in San Diego :
RBC Capital Markets last Wednesday conducted a test of 20 locations in metropolitan San Diego (one of two markets where Verizon Wireless has deployed the service) and logged an average download speed of 329 kb/s, both at a standstill and while moving. Of the tests, 78% of the readings came in over 300 kb/s and some were as high as 485 kb/s, putting Verizon well within the 300 kb/s to 500 kb/s range it had advertised, said Jonathan Atkin, RBC research analyst.
“We conducted the tests on the day of the launch so we were on a relatively uncongested network,” Atkin said, “but it proved to be very reliable and fast. If Verizon properly maintains and engineers this network, they should be able to keep these speeds easily.”
[Ok, uncongested network and only downstream speeds are listed. I have heard but can't confirm that upload speeds are comparable to dialup, would appreciate it if someone has real data on that] |
