ZychoFlow Posted September 24, 2007 CID Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi I just purchased the Sprint EVDO service so I use the phone as modem option. I recently did the speedtest at testmy.net and I got this ridiculously high scores that I just can't quite believe. I got 54019 kbps (6594 kB/s)!!! 50 plus megabits per second! Thats unreal, however whenever I test at other places I get speeds below a megabit. So I find this really weird. Can anyone shed some light into this? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted September 24, 2007 CID Share Posted September 24, 2007 I get weird speeds also. But still not sure why. They are working on it, but with the big guy out of commission for now, it will stay unresolved till then. They have been addressing it for a few months now. I am sure it will get fixed.

tommie gorman Posted September 24, 2007 CID Share Posted September 24, 2007 I hear you, it would be worth it to get the full 20 for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
