| What happened to 7.2Mbps?
What happened to 7.2Mbps? Is ATT not able to supply that much bandwidth to the sites? They have some serious catching up to do with Sprint/Alltel in both performance and 3G coverage. Sprint/Alltel cover about 230m population with EVDO (they roam 3G to each other). I don't think ATT is much past 150m pops with 3G. |

| True, that Sprint may have a better datacard ratio than Verizon Wireless, however AT&T has ~70 million GSM/3G subs, Verizon Wireless has almost as many, and lower churn rate.
Sprint has ~40 million CDMA subs + ~15million iDEN subs + MVNO.
I don't think in general, AT&T/Verizon Wireless are all that 'worried', as they have a lot of corp contracts as well as a large number of subscribers. Currently, I don't think that AT&T or Verizon is heavily promoting its datacards. Sprint on the otherhand is promoting data.

It says in the headline that its HSUPA yet in the quote it says HSDPA, did I read it wrong or theres a typo? That's still fast considering its running off of cell site. |

Was talking data cards not phones. The voice numbers are obvious.
Doesn't matter who ATT considers competition, they are far behind the major players. |

said by inteller  :Verizon doesn't even do 3.6 Haha, neither does ATT... They're lucky if the get 2Mbps in real world results.

EVDO can more often get over 2Mbps in real world. |

You might want to talk 3G phones too, since ATT has data plans which allow tethering which works the same as a data card. You don't need the card if you can connect to your phone via Bluetooth or USB just about anytime you want.

1 edit | Not a huge difference, especially given the volume of samples.
Those are typically mini browser phone-based stats

Both EVDO and HSDPA can get more than 2Mbps in the real world. It will depend on a few things
1) Version (EVDO REV 0 doesn't, neither does HSDPA 1.8)
2) Back haul
3) Spectrum/capacity
Won't do much good if these any one of these conditions aren't met.
