evdo speed for tethering 6700 vs broadband card

[peacock93]

Hello all,

I have a quick question about Sprints EVDO speed. I know the Sprint site states that the download speed is 600kbs-1.4mbs but via my 6700 tethered to my laptop, with full signal strength, the best I can get is ~ 115kbs. Would a broadband card and separate data plan give me the advertised speed on the Sprint site? I looked all through the Sprint site and could not find anything stating that there are different EVDO speeds in different areas. It only states that you either have it in your area or not.

Thanks for any info. you can send my way,
