Would a broadband card and separate data plan give me the advertised speed on the Sprint site? I looked all through the Sprint site and could not find anything stating that there are different EVDO speeds in different areas. It only states that you either have it in your area or not.

Thanks for any info. you can send my way,

i've been fighting this issue for months. my area is supposed to be covered by rev.a. even in areas where i have 100% signal strength i'm getting at the most 800kb down. their speeds in my area (southwest florida) are almost laughable. and when you call them for support, none of the techs know anything about anything. it's just absurd.
