Re: High latency

It's not like how your home internet ISP works...since 9/10 your local hub is within miles of where you live...so the latency would not be a issue. It goes like this for a cell tower 3G/4G connection (Your Phone ---> Tower ----> Hub. The tower is x miles away from your house...from the Tower the signal may be pushed half way across the US to a central hub they have...then from there it goes out to the internet....in return giving you a higher latency rate....Do a speed test on your Evo...and I'm betting you the location it gives you on the Speedtest.net app...is a server no where near you....

It will connect to the closest server possible to the hub...
