As far as where to run a speedtest, I find speakeasy.net/speedtest is faster than speedtest.net and tends to be more accurate.

question - is there a way to determine for sure if your geographical area is a Rev. A area?

hmm, this is enabled, I think

The screen shot I posted IS from the Data Parameters page...that is why I am confused, I DO NOT have a REV A setting? wierd...I do have the updated ROM and Radio though...What did I miss?

Did you do a Sprite Restore after loading the new ROM? It will remove the Rev. A setting from the EPST.

I upgraded to the 3.35 ROM and Radio and then loaded NoChem's 5051 build. I found that the 5053 build was very lagy and locked up alot. Anyways, I don't see the Rev A logo either. I did do a sprite restore but i did the ROM one. and only updated the personal databases and email. should i not have done that?

Usually the ROM option on Sprite Restore would have worked properly...but in this ROM it removes the Rev. A setting.

Yup I did a hard reset and there it was...I then just selectivly restored from my Sprite backup data..

LOL I tried everything with Sprite.

Long story short, I had to start from scratch, a lot of error/conflicts came, even in my barest "Safe Mode".

I did about three tests at three different servers. once through on disable and once on enable.
download speeds were about the same maybe a 5% variance up or down.
Upload speeds were also pretty consistent.

I did notice that my Ping times were twice as long though.
100-175 ms - disable
200-325ms - enable
