Re: Rev. A Speed Tests - Please Post your results

Measuring speed for EvDO is extremely unreliable unless you test it in the same exact position relative to the tower, as the speed varies greatly relatively to the distance from the tower. The further you are, the lower the speed. The closer you are, the faster. If you're right next to a tower, your speeds will be lower because you have too strong of a signal and you will be getting interference.

It's like measuring horsepower on a car while standing away from it and listening. You're just not ever going to gget the same results; at least not reliable enough to say x radio version is clearly better.
