Big Deal......

It's still not as fast as HSDPA will be
It's going to be up & running far faster than the eventual 7.2 mbps HSPA upgrade is ready for Cingular/[acronym]. Plus, it's a step forward in technology, not just a point increase for something we already have. I suspect it won't be long bef...

10 Mbit/s down isn't all that bad I don't think.. and it DOES seem faster than AT&T's standard 3.6 Mbit/s. Oh and wait, did we remember that WiMax can do 10 Mbit/s upload as well? Lets see HSDPA do that.

I wanted to say a few things:

HSDPA/HSUPA will be cool whenever it's finally launched, But I think the apocalypse is scheduled sooner...

Sprint's Commercial Coverage

I'm just wondering, it seems like you see more commercials for Sprint's "Broadband" network, the network that works in more places than any other network in the United States, but I still have yet to meet anyone that uses Sprint in that way. Everyone I know with EV-DO is on Verizon, and I know quite a few people that also use the HSPA family on Cingular.

Sprint offers employees of my company a 25% discount, but almost everyone chooses T-Mobile (with no discount), Verizon (with no discount), or Cingular (11% discount).
