nice topic, been lookin into this all day, went as far as trying to jimmy rig the antenna on my roof to the outlet feature on the back of my phone, doubled the speed of my internet for all but 10 mins, then it went back to normal speeds, thought i had something but i havent been able to reproduce those speeds that high since, I'm mostly concerned with getting better EVDO reception and resuting speed from it... my current average download speed with evdo on my titan running wifirouter to my lap top is only roughly 150kbs to about 200kbs... i live in a relatively popluar area in so cal so I can't figure out why my download speeds are so week, and I've got every feature code, hack, and tweak for my phone and for my pc... go figure?

any thoughts?

ya i use the ics program with cellular line 1 and tnet12... there are a lot of different options on it... are there any advance settings you can set for ics to increase speeds, or any other options in gerneral?

sorry for deriving off the topic...
