evdo speed for tethering 6700 vs broadband card

[toinejuan]

The 6700, doesn't support EV DO REV A. I get speeds about 750-900 kbs im in Northern Cali. I do however have my registry edited for higher bandwidth on my pc though. It could also be your prl on your phone that's slowing you down. I am getting my mogul in a few days as an insurance replacement but if you want to know the registry settings you need to faster speeds either PM me or just let me know here.

I wouldn't mind knowing the reg. settings. Feel free to PM it.

toinejuan,

I would like to try your reg. settings and what prl version are you using?

Update 9-4-08:

I changed my PRL and Radio stack and now I'm getting 500kbs downloads at -96Db Rx Power measured from Field Trial. I went from 20226 PRL to 20232 PRL and from Radio 1.27 to 1.43. I know I've read a lot of different things about the PRL not helping data speeds and since I did both of these updates at the same time I cannot say which one or whether both helped. All I can tell you is that I have increased my download speed by 5X. I went from ~100kbs to ~500kbs all from the same signal strength. I will update my post again after I get a chance to test my download speed at full signal strength.

Full Signal Update 9-6-08:

I tested my download speed again, this time with full signal strength, and I'm still getting ~500kbs. Maybe this is as fast as I can get in my area or maybe it's because the 6700 has the old EVDO Rev0. I don't know but I'm still pretty happy with ~500kbs. Just thought I would put my results out there and maybe someone has something else I can try to get even more speed out of my old 6700.

I am using a Sprint 6700 with a ppckitchen 20273 WM6.1 built ROM.
