its shared bandwidth on EVDO so its going to be heavily dependant on tower usage etc, i've had my verizon card for a while now and service is spotty, i find it drops the connection a lot and the speed varies, especially as the number of users climbs higher. also PCMCIA cards are terrible, they all seem to have a similar design wheres theres a very sensitive point at about 1cm from the end of the card, i've had a few cards fail so far, they start off flakey and not connecting properly then dying altogether, hoping for a good usb solution soon.
i also wonder what the effect of the no sleep connection hacks are doing to the network, if it reserves any bandwidth or how much in the way of resources it'd use, if any. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Keeney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 11:25 AM Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: Returned the Sprint PCS EVDO card > > I notice a big difference between using the phone and the EVDO card. > > Before purchasing the Sprint EVDO card, I used a Sanyo 4900 phone and USB > cable for several years.
