EvDO Data on USCC!!!

Ok, for all you USCC customers on the west coast that have been suffering with our ridiculously slow data connections....suffer no more! EvDO has been unofficially launched. Just run the OTA update (*228 ) soft reset your phone and load your favorite data intensive page! I ran mobilespeedtest.com and was averaging around 600kb/s. My girl is on a BB and she's getting around 5500kb/s (not sure what's up with that....)

Cheers

Hi!
The reason she's getting such a high reading on her blackberry is that BBs go through a proxy, so the speed she sees is actually the speed from the RIM server to my server.

That sucks, but there's not much that can be done about that...

Thanks for the info, just did this and it works!! So excited about reasonable internet speeds(450 kb/s) now time to do some tweaking.
