EVDO Performance in EVDO Only Mode

[pronacyk]

Has anyone else noticed a significant increase in ping & speed when in EVDO only mode compared to Hybrid mode? I notice a lot of signal volatility in Hybrid mode (going from 4 bars to 0/1 then back to 4-5). I'm assuming that it's due to the radio jumping between towers due to similar signal strength from multiple towers? Does switching to EVDO limit the tower-hopping?

Also, in EPST (#777), I have Rev A set to "Enable". Back when I had the Mogul & the Touch, "Disable" was actually the correct setting to enable EVDO Rev A. However, I've tested both settings on the TP and think that "Enable" is the correct setting due to the higher upload speed. Anyone else agree?
