|  Sprint Speeds Up EV-DO Revision A Plans.... oh ok...?
I've had service for almost 3 months.... I'm ready to pay the 175 to have it disconnected...
the service is available almost everywhere I go, but most of the time it's comparable to dial up...
at this point Sprint does NOT have my recommendation...

| Is your connection showing 1xEVDO or 1xRTT? It will be on the right side of your connection manager, hover your mouse over the bars. 1xRTT is slow and with higher latency than dial up. I'm posting on an evdo connection now and testing at 1mb speeds down, 100k up and 260ms latency. Unless you use the service in evdo areas it will not be worth it to you more than likely. |

I'm posting from Sprint's evdo connection now and my DSLreports.com speed test result is 739 kbps down and 73 kbps up. My latency is averaging around 240ms here in Austin, TX. EVDO is absolutely night and day compared with the older 1xRTT devices. I have travelled all over the US and the speeds vary from tower to tower. However, when I am in an EVDO city the speeds are almost always more than adequate for web surfing, email, VPN etc. Sprint is hands down the fastest and cheapest mobile data provider on the market. And no I don't work for sprint....  |
