Revision A Rollout Swifter Than Sprint Expected
Speed?
Someone educate me on this please...
Is the only difference between Rev 0 and Rev A the upload speeds? If so, what will they be increased to?
What will the download speeds be?
😕

Download speeds will be increased a little but more importantly, latency will be reduced.

Nevermind,
"With the evolution to EV-DO Revision A, users in markets where it is rolled out, will experience faster average download speeds of 450 - 800 kbps; and average upload speeds of 300 - 400 kbps. These data rates can enable richer applications and services such as high-speed video telephony, music on demand, video messaging, large file uploads and high performance push-to-talk capability."
Just didn't read the article.

i've heard of some people hitting almost 1.5 mbps with rev 0 so if it does boost speeds I suppose the burst speeds maybe be faster than 1.5 too. Maybe/ maybe not.
...
so does this mean that EV-DO is finally going to be good enough to game on your comp from anywhere?
...
I suppose it already should be, limited to service obviously, but since there are games that can run no problem on dial-up I would assume it could handle that now. It's going to cost a lot to do though.
...
well theres some games that you need a strong connection (i.e. CS, URC, DOD, ect.)
...
Actually, it doesn't cost much at all. I have a PPC-6700 and have a PAM (phone-as-modem) plan which is unlimited data transfer for phone and computer connection. It's only 40.00 per month. It works really well and I have had bursts of up to 1700 kbps. Usually I get around 600-700k range. The latency is the only downside. I hope that revision A will help that latency on our Rev. 0 phones as well. We'll see 🙂
