EVDO vs UMTS

I’ve been a Verizon EV-DO customer for a couple of years now, but it seems like everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. When I got to CES in Las Vegas the fastest speeds I got over EV-DO was about 200kbps:

So, so I decided to switch to UMTS to see what I’d get on ATT and here’s what I got:

I think I maybe canceling my EV-DO service when I get back. :D

      I have had good luck with my AT&T phone. Geri and I both have connected at surprisingly high speeds before.

      Have fun out there!

      I have been a customer of Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, SBC Wireless, Cingular and now AT&T for 12 years now and they tend to have the best and fastest network around…in most cities I have been to. I never use Wi-fi anymore unless its free…otherwise I tether my laptop and get broadband speeds. I ran a Skype call while online on Second Life while tethered to my Blackjack…pretty impressive.

      The amazing thing about UMTS is that though it has become available here in the USA and thus more popular in the past year or so, NTT-DoCoMo has it available in Japan for over 10 years now!
