So is it game quality now? Like I would play.

[coknuck]

Sure has a lot of hops but the pings are a lot better.

Its ok, not real good "game quality" the number of hops are going to kill you.

[tommie gorman]

Sure has a lot of hops but the pings are a lot better.

Well it  was just Easter. And I get hopping when pretty girls go by.  

But the best part so far is the lack of lag. It seems much better surfing wise. But I will get them to iron out some more, and see if I can get it to hit there famous words of 3.1 megs. Then me and the modem are headed for sex. and I will decide to keep it on then.    

[tommie gorman]

By the way, do we have an EVDO section here. Or is it just under Sprint? 

[zeddlar]

congrats

[tommie gorman]

It appears after talking to tech support, that the speeds will be way under what satelite is. The speed is like 437 which is above their minimum 300 kbps. Grrrrrrrr. And U/L is supposed to be what ever.  So I will probably do the 30 day test, and figure seeing about hughes 7000 

Or just sticking with present and seeing what peaks its ugly head around the corner.

[Siryak]

Try using this site ---> http://speedtest.net/

For some reason testmy doesn't seem to be reporting accurate EVDO speeds, because I have seen others have the same results as you. That speedtest.net should be fairly accurate though.

[tommie gorman]

440/50. About the same as the one I took for sprint. Wo also had me test at speakeasy in Chicago also. Other than lag it is no better than my crappy old dway.    Really.

[Siryak]

How is your signal? If you don't have just have an "ok" signal then that could be causing your slower speeds. If this is the case a simple antenna that will hook up to the card will probably get you up to about 1-1.2mb. Your speeds are not normal though. EVDO is usually 1mb+.

[tommie gorman]

The tech asked if I had connection issues  when I asked about that and antennaes. Which I relpied, no none. SO unless you know a way to check it, no.

[Siryak]

There is a way to check it, but since I don't have one yet I haven't had time to tinker and figure it out. I am sure the guys at these forums --> www.evdoforums.com could tell you. From the looks of your speed though I would be willing to bet it is just a matter of your signal is not high enough. Those forums also sell antennas so you should be able to get fixed up there.

tommie, it kills your old dway by 1 million. ping times kill dway (100 compared to 1300) and when ur internet gets all settled in, then you should get better speeds

there is something for you to beat~!~

[tommie gorman]

Yeah, I will certainly check it out. Part of the problem is I do not want to outlay $$ on a 30 day trial thing. If it would be better if there were a way to fashion a way to fully check it out before hand, that was the reason for it in the first place. The 30 day trial.

They did say something about settling in. But I had some issues earlier, in ffact I am on sat right now. Because of it.

[TimPawlak]

call tech support, but if your wise, go with Sprint.. i have them for my cell phone service.. always strong signal and i can use my data cable on my cell phone for internet access like anywhere

[tommie gorman]

First, would it help to try hooking it to a cat 5 cable hooked to an antenae in the attic, I am in the basement. And the antenae cable is just the other side of this wall.

Also:

It does pull a page in faster, But actual D/L's are much slower. Much different.

By the way, it is a TV antenae

[TimPawlak]

buy a bigger, better antenna

No, no, no, you need to use a specific antenna with the right connector and not your home remedy or did you get the USB with no external connector? If you know someone with a Sprint phone have them come over and see what they get for a signal.

[resopalrabotnick]

go to the respective sites (too lazy to search for you) and build yourself a cantenna.

Wish I could rent or borrow one. To make sure. I hate to put out over $50 just to make sure on what may not stay here that long if it does not work that well.

And staying with them is another 2 year contract. So I am wringing my hands on this one. I was hoping to hook up, try it for 30 days and know at just that.

[Siryak]

www.3gstore.com will give you 15 days to try it out. If it doesn't help send it back.(ofcourse you will be out shipping still). I am guessing you wouldn't haft to send it back though. Or you can go to www.wilsoncellular.com and see if they have a dealer in your area.

[tommie gorman]

Well according to some info grandpa had me try, it appears to be a signal issue probably. But I have upped the speed considerably, not stable as of yet though. Which is why it appaears to be signal.

I have had as high as 1200/300 So I am on the right track at least. 

Here is the speed with that test coknuck.

Overall Average Speed is approximatly 127 KB/sec or 1 Mbps

That is more like it. A little low on the upload side, but that will probably get better once you get an antenna set up.

[tommie gorman]

So any ideas on an antenae. Say from radio shack. Or any local store? I would be able to take it back, and also be able to get it quick.

You probably wouldn't get a very good one at radioshack.(Could be wrong, but I wouldn't think you would) Your best bet would be to go here --- http://wilsoncellular.com/Dealer.php and see if there is a dealer in your area. They sell every piece of equipment you could possibly need.
