Re: Data speeds

Thanks for the links, I've been looking for a way to test my data speeds. My carrier (Alltel - just merged with Verizon Wireless) started updating their towers last Monday in my area. I now get an "rA" icon so I assume I have Rev A but it does not seem any faster than my previous connection speeds when my phone displayed "Ev" (which I assume is EVDO Rev 0). Anyway, I did not do the speed test when I was on Ev since I did not have the links given here. By the way, PIE seems about twice as fast as Opera 9.5. I've run the tests numerous times and here are my average results with the 400Mb files size: 600-650kb/sec with PIE; 250-330 kb/sec with Opera. This is an average of my fastest speeds. My slowest speeds were: 450 with PIE and 170 with Opera. Based on these results, I think I'm going to switch to using PIE!

Does anyone know what speeds I should get with rev A?

TIA,
