Sprint Vision EV-DO wireless speeds at work

Recommended Posts

I have noticed the EV-DO service coming and going since yesterday, they are in the process of turning it up apparently.

I usually only get 80kbps down, and less up.

Speeds are not bad for sitting out in the middle of nowhere next to a field.

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 989 Kbps about 1 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)

Download Speed is:: 121 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2)

Test Time:: Thu Oct 20 14:30:17 CDT 2005

Bottom Line:: 18X faster than 56K 1MB download in 8.46 sec

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 89.02 % of your hosts average (72.221)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ZN0GCRI4H

Upload has been questionable though.

I got 88kbps earlier, but that was the best.

:::.. Upload Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 26 Kbps about 0 Mbps (tested with 97 kB)

what is the advertised top speed against what u getting?

the upload has some serious problems

Compared to 1xRTT networks currently being used by operators, or the GPRS and EDGE networks employed by their GSM competitors, 1xEV-DO is significantly faster, providing access terminals with download speeds of up to 2.4 Mbit/s. Only terminals with 1xEV-DO chipsets can take advantage of the higher speeds.

I am not exactly sure, just-.

It is my work PC and the i.t. guys said the EV-DO will be active by December.

I happened to notice a speed increase yesterday and looked at the diagnostics and it showed the EV-DO as active (in the past it always said CDMA active).

The fast service seems spotty so I am sure the upgrade is not yet complete.

As for the upstream, I was getting 80-100k earlier on a local site, but at the time I posted here it was not looking so good.

I am home now, and the EV-DO is not working here so I am unable to try any more speed tests.

edit: found some numbers on there site:
