tommie gorman Posted July 22, 2007 CID Share Posted July 22, 2007 I'm assuming you have it pretty well worked out there grandpa. Very nice speeds. Thanks, I really like the EVDO and a good storm went through the other day and I did loose my connection The power went out for a minute and I powered back up.

Yep, good shit compared to dway. And if I wanted, I can put it anywhere in the house, or travel with it. Not that I do, but if I wanted to I could. So did you end up using an antennae?

Not that I do, but if I wanted to I could. So did you end up using an antennae? I got the antenna and finally found a spot to get me an excellent for the signal status but that is only from the routers interpretation, don't know the actual signal numeral, but it is great.

Guest jeffwalker9999 Posted July 22, 2007 CID Share Posted July 22, 2007 Good Bye Satellite and Hello Cellular Data ! ! Sprint Evdo Las Vegas Nevada Adverage connect speeds are:: Download 620 to 1900 K a sec Upload 350 to 520 K a sec $62.57 a month So far biggest speed difference was to use a different dns server I like www.opendns.com service and I did change the settings as said in this url http://www.evdoforums.com/thread2001.html Also the signal received does make a big issue in the connect speeds more signal better connect speeds Cablenut and other tools - really made no difference - as a heads up Sprint is the fastest network from hands on usage and tests of all the others I have been using EVDO hands on now from Aug 2006 to Current So if have questions or need help Pm me Also:: I did get it to work with the peer to peer (freeware) service myself and other are using Info @ http://web-freebies.com/Join_Our_P2P_Network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im only about a 1/2 mile from it. When im in a major city i see over 1.0Mb/s Yes I went through all that with my Linksys router and card. I can't see the actual signal but going into the router shows Fair, Good or Excellent and I now have Excellent with the truckers antenna. I'm about 2 miles and in the middle of 2 towers. 6 locations later I found the best spot for my network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are the same variables as on sat but no excessive travel time. This is about the best I have gotten testing around, 3G recommended this site. Remember that there is different equipment (cards & USB) on our end that we are comparing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted July 24, 2007 CID Share Posted July 24, 2007 So you think the cards might be stronger? Just curious. I don't know about that but what I have been reading is the USB seems to have a faster upload. I would have to try the card I have alone without the router but unfortunately I have no laptop. I did ask at 3G about about putting in a PCI to PCMCIA adapter in for the card but was told they hadn't found a card to support it but maybe they just hadn't tried it. Using the connection manager gives you access to the PX500 but I don't know about other cards or modems. If anyone with a different modem could give some input maybe we could do a group test. . Can't wait till they get this one adjusted. The network for ISP connection is in place and there must be something that controls the speed but whether it is in our EVDO modems or not I don't know. I think EVDO modems in the future may give us more speed but what you must remember it would need to able to handle this through each segment of the internet network. And thus when you drive to work in the morning rush the more cars out the slower traffic gets just as the internet, so where is everyone getting in such a hurry, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
