 "Reliable connection, fast speeds, good coverage"
 "Latency seems to be all over the board most of the time."

I have done a lot of research before making my choice to select Sprint, but in many aspects it was a very good decision. If you are going to use the data in an "Rev. A" coverage area, you will be greatly surprised on how well the network performs. Normal download speed (EVDO, Rev. A) is around 70-90 KBps and bursts up to 120 to 130 KBps on a good day.

| ... Do you mean 70 - 90 kiloBYTES or kilobits? If you're only getting 130 kiloBITS max you're on 1xRTT, not EVDO.
EVDO can easily pull 1.2 Megabit down, 500+ KB/s up
Capital B = bytes
Lowercase b = bits | |

| Re: ... It's Bytes, should have stated KBps instead of Kbps. My service is for Jacksonville, FL (EV-DO, Rev.A) but i am currently on a military base and using the service in the Dothan, AL (EV-DO, Rev.A) area and those are the speeds i am getting here. The card is showing that it is connecting to a Rev. A network. Maybe my service is a bit slower because of the location of the service, but i will find out once i get back home. I just wish the latency could be improved. | |
