Alltel expands EVDO Revision A network in Kansas

July 17th, 2008

Freedom
As we spoke about in an earlier post, Alltel is rolling out EVDO Revision A in numerous places.

Wichita, Kansas also gets to hop on the 3G high speed bandwagon. As we said before, speeds are expected to go from EVDO Revision 0 speeds of 400-700 kbps to 600-1400 kbps on the downlink.

That’s about twice the speed while price remains the same (phew).

AT&T has the fastest 3G Network?

July 10th, 2008

While Sprint boasts the largest mobile broadband network, AT&T is claiming the fastest. With investing mega bucks into their 3G network, it was a prediction made at Mobile-Broadband-Reviews.com in their review of networks’ speeds. Their footprint continues to increase and by the end of the year, they will be the fastest by far (7.2 Mbps). Check out the link for the details.
