Sprint Throttling evdo on touch pro

[teddat]

Been using my sprint TP for a month now and everything is pretty good except evdo throughput speeds are less than stellar compared to my mogul.

same location, same bandwidth testing via tethering, mogul used to get 1500-2000kbps down and 400 up.

with the Touch Pro i can't seem to ever exceed 1100-1200kbps down and 400 up.


can anyone else with both phones comment?

thanks! in bayarea california.

I can confirm this. Haven't broken 1100 down or 300 up on the TP, but my Mogul was hitting 1300 down and always over 400 up. Im near Seattle.

Anyone tried editing the max connections settings? What about TCP window size?

I've messed with max connections when im in the opera;config, i was under the impression that it only changed the max connections as per max tabs, so i always set those up the same, no problem there with 10 tabs 10 max connections

Are you guys on stock? Using the same program? Maybe in the EPST.... this concerns me....

I have exceeded 1500 a couple times driving around Michigan. What concerns me right now, is that while streaming music/video, or often times while downloading larger files - the EVDO kicks out and I get 1X service until I stop the download/stream etc. and let the connection idle for a bit. Anybody else experience that?

You maybe receiving a text or something...

i also have been kicked off evdo once in a while say streaming youtube and it goes to 1x and stays 1x until i restart.

yes, stock sprint rom, i use speedtest.net and speakeasy in the evening hours atleast a dozen times on different nights in the same location.

It is troubling to think with a newer device and faster processor, that sprint is limiting throughput on TP but not Moguls?? I've since sold my mogul so i can do back to back testing.

I'd say on average, im down a good 600kbps compared to my mogul's speed tests.

This was my tethered result from home, with my crappy 1 bar of coverage



I have no idea why it thought I was in Kansas.

Your IP was based out of Sprint's Kansas operations. I've usually been told the same. I think only once was the city somewhere else.
