Dissappoint Verizon EvDO Speeds
Lately, I've been having many problems with the Verizon EvDO service with both the Kyocera KPC650 PC Card as well as the Motorola Q phone. Service drops, high latency, rerequests, and stuck network appear to be happening to both devices.
This happens in Fremont as well as Mountain View. As a note, in Mountain View, a Samsung Blackjack (Windows Smartphone device) was able to obtain 390k or so of data throughput (the device is 3g/hsdpa capable), while the Verizon device (also Windows Smartfone and also 3g EvDO) was getting 112k or so. This was consistent +/- 30k or so on each devices across several attempts.
I have a feeling the Verizon EvDO, though it has better coverage, is reaching it's saturation point. No longer can I get the 1.1-1.4 mb/s speeds I getting @ SFO airport before the launch of EvDO in the SF Bay area.
