Official Rev A discussion

It seems the new ROM thread is getting a whole bunch of Rev A talk, whether it really is rev A or not. Come here and post your speed tests and we'll settle this once and for all

Here's mine from today, tethered over bluetooth with Internet Sharing. Haven't tried with WMWiFiRouter yet.

I've had better upstream testing with other servers though, but I think it's safe to conclusively say that this is Rev A.

Here's one I just did a second ago:

Here was my *top* score from last night:

No doubt it's rev A.

A lot of people seem to be in doubt, but basically since Rev0 maxes out the upload at like 144kbps, you can use that as a quick gauge.

The other thing is that some people might be testing for Rev. A. in areas that don't have Revision A rolled out yet.

I think the people in small towns & the valley folk won't be able to tell.
It might be their thoughts giving the mixed results.

Anyone in a big town, city or metropolitan area is going to see the difference.

Is there a map of where Rev A. has been rolled out? I'm curious if my area has it yet. Lansing MI

Good point. If you're not sure if you're in a Rev A area or not, http://evdomaps.com/ should help you figure it out. It's a google maps mashup of people posting their speeds. Also http://www.sprint.com/business/produ...doEnterZip.jsp if you're on Sprint.

No kidding holy cow! Those are some good results!

I would also add, that if you guys go to evdomaps, if there isn't already representation for your area, and you see that you're getting EVDO Rev. A speeds, go ahead and register and add your area to the map.

These kind of things are community projects, where the more people participate, the more accurate the maps become.

My area wasn't represented on the map, so i added myself.
