Sorry- this is nothing but anecdotal user information and lacks the
controls of an authoritative test.

Of course. So does Cingular UMTS/HSDPA. The difference is that
EGPRS(EDGE) is available is essentially all digital signal areas,
whereas UMTS/HSDPA and EV-DO are only available in major metro markets.
The proper comparison is thus to 1xRTT, not EV-DO.

How does 3G compare to Verizon and Sprint?
| |
| Ryan Sinn 2007-02-13, 10:33 am |
| For EDGE/GPRS performance...
In Minnesota (Minneapolis / Saint Paul... Metro area) -- the best
speed I've seen with Cingular is 39 to 69 Kbps... 2-8Kb/sec...
With my (old) AT&T SIM in the same phone I was getting 180-200Kbps
consistantly...
3G isn't here yet, so I can't tell you of the quality difference...

HSDPA has got to be the slowest roll-out in the history of wireless.
Cingular is promising that 2007 is "the year of 3G," so be patient.
Sprint and Verizon both have had their 3G network up in the Twin Cities
for over a year. Cingular is losing a lot of high-value subscribers to
Sprint and Verizon, and once they're set up with wireless cards in their
notebooks, or tethered handsets, they're unlikely to change since the
price is the same.
Meanwhile, Minneapolis is deploying a city-wide 4G wireless network at a
cost of $20 per month, with no taxpayer money. Amusingly, the some are
attacking the plan, because they want a "free," publicly funded network.
Yet San Francisco's plan of "free" low speed, and paid high speed
wireless is also being attacked, as companies such as AT&T don't want
anything free, and some residents think that the high-speed should be
free. I think that $20 is a fair price for 3Mb/s wireless, it's about
the same cost as basic DSL, plus you no longer need a land line. The
free wireless network where I live, MetroFi, is worse than dial-up.

UMTS and HSDPA compare quite well to EV-DO.

HSDPA has actually been rolled out very rapidly, and as of the end of
last year was in "165 cities including 73 of the top 100 markets."
What's been slow is Verizon's move to EV-DO Rev A, which is only now
finally happening.
