Talking Sprint 3G On Top....
U.S. 3G broadband comparison crowns a surprise winner … Sprint In December, Gizmodo did its “Definitive coast-to-coast 3G data test” in which it compared the mobile broadband performance of Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and Sprint in eight cities across the U.S. and then published the results, which came up with a surprise winner: Sprint. Gizmodo used comparable USB dongles from the big three U.S. cellular carriers to measure bandwidth in eight cities: * New York * Boston * Chicago * San Francisco bay area * Seattle * Austin * Portland * Raleigh-Durham As the chart below shows, Sprint had the best download bandwidth in four of the eight cities and was highly competitive in the other four. In terms of national average, Sprint was the clear winner, with just under 1.5 Mbps average while AT&T and Verizon averaged about 1.2 Mbps. http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=11580

Re: Sprint 3G On Top....
Any chance this is because they are losing customers which frees up current bandwidth while Verizon and AT&T are growing and struggling to keep their bandwidth growing as fast as the customer base?

Hey Hey Hey I am just asking. I am with Sprint and while I hate the fact that they have not put EVDO in my area yet and Verizon has been here well over a year, I have no intention of leaving.

Re: Sprint 3G On Top....
So, Why does AT&T run commercials with "The Fastest 3G network" if they are running in 2nd/3rd place?

uh.. i dont recall seeing any commercials saying that.. but if that is the case, then technically they are, because sprint is evdo rev A.. not 3G
