#3 | | Member | Giving information of when 4G was developed in "beta" stage for testers to see what it's reaction will be compared to 3G as MANY MANY MANY users want that cable connection of 100mbps on their phone, it will get to that point one day but carriers are comparing and playing cards with each other and looking to see what people will say and if it's worth forking the money at their advertisers and testers to continue with.
I can't post links as my post count is 4 and I need 5 more to be able to do this. Anywho, if you type in Google.com "4G mobile internet" you will find when it was established and who is the premier worker in this development. Hope this helps.

Yes, Sprint is pretty fast. EV-DO Rev.A is on most of their network now. If you get a Sero plan, SERO Welcome! "savings@sprintemi.com", you get PDA and cell phone data for free. | | Did you find this post helpful?

#8 | | Mobile Maestro | I think out of all the carriers if you were put into a perfect situation ATT would proabaly have the quickest speeds if you are in one of their small 3G areas that is.

#10 | | Junior Member | I don't think anyone can generalize and give you an answer as to which carriers' 3g is the fastest. It all depends on the phone you use, as well as the area you are in. Every carriers has markets where 3g speeds are better/worse, depending on the network setup, backhaul and network use. If you give us an area where you plan on using your 3g service we can probably help you out better.
If I had to chose a 3g service today, I would not consider at&t because of their lack of 3g coverage outside of large metro areas. | | Did you find this post helpful?

Just because they say that speed does not mean you are going to throttle that high.

#12 | | Member | Use this to find out what speeds are available in your area Sprint - Nationwide Coverage and on the right side of the page there is a button that says "data, email and multimedia" click that and then put in your address at the top of the page, and you will see what kind of connectivity are in your area.... after the data box expands, click on the word "speeds" above the color codes and it will bring up a pop-up telling the approximate speeds you will see in a given area... now remember if you are roaming on US cellular then you will have the slowest of their roaming partners, which US Cellular's data runs at a max of 56kbps (dial-up speed).
Hope this helps, Chris | | Did you find this post helpful?

#14 | | Newbie | It seems that many of you have lost track of the orignal question. I ran across this forum thread because I was looking for the answer to the same question.
Not simply who has the fastest internet access on a cellular phone device, but which carrier network, service plan and mobile device has the fastest service while allowing you to use the phone as a modem connected to your PC. Not simply using the phone as a dial up device, but using the 3g or EVDO data service.
I have read on another online posting that Sprint does not allow you to add their (expensive) tethered data plan to their Simply Everything service plans, which are the only plans available for some of the new phones like the Instinct.
Apparently the iPhone does not support being connected as a modem to the 3G data plan either.
If anyone can direct me to a device and network that has this capability it would be much appreciated. Especially if you actually have experience using it. | | Did you find this post helpful?

All new PDA phone from sprint use Rev-A network so for sure it will be faster than 3g | | Did you find this post helpful?
