Real world download speeds for today's 1xEV-DO according to Sprint and Verizon are around 400K bps - 700K bps. And, it's definitely not not unusual to get speeds of less than that, say, 250K bps - 350K bps, depending on your location and channel loading.

Upload speeds are dramatically less, perhaps 70K bps, plus or minus 20K bps or so.

You might get a burst of speed that could even reach about 1Mbps down, but that's very rare. To be safe, count on download speeds of about 300K bps - 500K bps and you generally won't be disappointed.]]>Jun 21st 2006 10:08PM
