mrbouchez Posted June 27, 2008 CID Share Posted June 27, 2008 I moved and recently signed up for Sprint wireless for my home connection.

mrbouchez Posted June 30, 2008 CID Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm paying for EVDO service but I'm not in an EVDO area. Sprint dosen't offer a "Home" service just mobile service, so even though I don't own a laptop I'm paying for the ability to use their EVDO network. Doing some research I've found that Centennial Wireless out of Fort Wayne Indiana offers GSM wireless in my area. Any opinion on wiether this would be a better connection than what I get from Sprint? They offer 236kbs down but if it's like any other service I can only plan on getting half of that consistantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the following information: "When the card is out of EV-DO range the Compass 597 drops to the much slower 1X system, with speeds around 100 Kbps." " from the tests, the better the EV-DO signal, the faster the performance. It's also pretty clear that some EV-DO Rev A coverage areas are MUCH faster than others." Are you using an external antenna with this modem? If not it probably would be a good idea to investigate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
