Sitting in a Panda Express right now. It's a little faster then the open wifi from three doors down, so I'm using it.

For some reason, speedtest.net thought I was in LA. Silly.

Really, it doesn't seem that different from the mogul.

I've seen folks post those speeds too, but here in the Bay Area, and also on the East Coast around the Metro DC/Baltimore area I have personally never seen such speeds on my mogul.

It's possible Sprint has (er, had) some areas with these speeds and has dialed them down since?

According to the docs on EVDO-a the speeds should be

13 1536 2 5120 5/12 16-QAM
14 3072 1 5120 5/6 16-QAM

(1.5 or 3.0 Mbit/sec) PEAK

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evoluti...TIA-856_Rev._A

Note that is "Peak" - sustained rates for EVDO-a are no more then 1.7mbit/.8mbit unless you are the only EVDO-a data user on a tower.

So, I think what you're actually seeing is more EVDO users on your tower. Or Sprint is using the DRC 13 index, not the 14 one. I wonder if that setting can be changed.

Watch out for that Panda Express, my friends dad supposedly got food poisoning twice from that place hahah.

My TP speeds is about 1mbps slower than my Mogul, which topped out at around 2.5mbps

Just got the TP last week - I have a fairly good signal but today I just got 850kbps. I typically averaged about ~200kbps on my Moto Q9c. Loving the speed!

I'm getting about 500kbps and I have 1 to no bars in my house. I will check it next time I head towards my stronger area right down the road.
