When unlocker was released i was ready to unlock my TP2 and flash custom ROM as i always have on all my previous HTC's. After downloading the unlocker i dont know why but i decided to test speed on Sprint stock(6.1) ROM before actually unlocking it. When i saw the numbers that http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed spit out at me i almost fell out of my chair. After that I kept testing and retesting everywhere for few days and unbeleavably it was not a one time fluke. The best result is posted in my signature(done on PRL 60656 with Sprint stock 6.1(no speed tweaks whatsoever), tethering(for test purposes only) on Ubuntu 9.10(Jaunty)), results in Vista and W7 are much lower but i am still averaging half of speed in signature which is about twice the best speed that i ever got on TP(or still getting on my Sprint Diamond(custom 6.5 ROM-same Ubuntu). Needless to say i am happy as a chainik and decided to put off unlocking and stick with stock ROM for now for fear of loosing this miracle. No more laggy youtube or annoying buffering messages for me! Anyone else experienced this? |
I think something may be up with the speed test in Ubuntu- EVDO RevA max downstream is 3.1 Mbps and that's considered the burst max. 7.99 seems like a bit of a reach
However, tethering speeds as well as internet speeds do appear to be improved.
