Hitman, that speed doesn't make sense... I thought EVDO was only burstable to 2-3 mbps (and that would be on a near-perfect connection). Your test is at least double the maximum. Can you run a few more tests? I'm thinking you had data in cache that skewed the results (or something similar).

Most of the speed tests indicate 1 - 1.5 mbps is the high end of average, with a handful of Rev A connections seeing over 2 mbps (see www.evdomaps.com).

Your quite right, and I've mentioned that in a few different threads, There seems to be something screwy with testmy and my connection that causes it. i've run others and come up with quite normal results. Although I can go back to testmy and produce that time and time again. It wasnt a one time "fluke" just a error in the test in some manner.

Testmy is not accurate on some connections. I have DSL and it is totally inaccurate. Try another speed test - like this one.

I see nothing indicating that it was inaccurate...

"I think I like this one."

What ping times are you getting since Rev A?
