Alltel Data Speeds

[ajaxingtonI]

my data speeds are very inconsistent, at times it can be up to 500kb/s, others 100, others as low as 28 haha, working on trying to find a good spot in my house with decent speeds

I just tested mine with the 1MB speed test from Opera and got 833 kbit/sec with 1 bar in Houston on RevA. I have the stock radio 1.03.13F. I'm not sure about the tethering.

Here is something to try. ##33284 (##DEBUG) and send. This will load up Field Trial. Click on left Soft Key, and go to HDR, there is a line there. "Requested Data Rate" this will tell you how fast it is requesting the signal and everything. play with that some, download the file and look at the debug file and see what you notice or anything liek that.

I am on an EVDO/1X area right now, and I am able to send request up to 1222 KB/S, so that will give you an idea. give it a shot and see if it works for you guys has well.

Nevermind it was the Black slide to answer dialer I had installed.
I removed it and it worked like you said it would.

Ok heres what Iv found over the past week;
In all these Places I have a revA signal with 2-4 bars
At home (Ava) 100-300 kbps
Across town in ava 500-1000 kbps
at work in springfield over 2000kbps!

So what do you guys think, is it a tower issue or do you think its probably normal and I should just accept that Im not gonna get good data speeds at my house?
Its just weird that I have the same signal in all three places but have that much difference in speeds.

And thanks again Con, this way of testing is much eaiser than doing the mobile speed test all the time.

HA! not at the moment.
I figured Id switch to Cons while im trying to get this data issue straightend out since his uses Alltels stock ROM for a base.
His 11/28 is Pretty much just an Alltel stock ROM with the bloatware removed.
For stability, if your on Alltel, Cons is #1. Its just getting a little dated.
6 months in ROM Time is like forever, lol
