Broadband Access MOU?
|
|

| Hello.
Is there such thing as Broadband Access Minutes of Use?

1) "MOU" is usually used in reference to "Memorandum of Understanding." <g>
2) No. Usage is determined by bits, bytes, etc., not time.

Nope. There is ( was? ) NationalAccess MOU, but not
BroadbandAccess.
There is, however, the option of a byte-limited BroadbandAccess
for datacards, according to a rep I spoke with, even though it
doesn't appear on the website.

Not legitimately... If you use NA MOU now, and can change the baud rate in
your drivers, and are in an EVDO area, just jack it up to 921600 (or
whatever max your driver supports)..

That will make absolutely no difference, whatsoever. The
1XRTT signal itself maxes out at about 144kbps. Increasing the
baud rate between the phone and device will help prevent
overruns, but it doesn't magically make an 1XRTT connection
into an EVDO connection.

It's all fakery nowadays anyway. I set my LG8000 to 115.2K and my Windows
Dial up to 115.2K yet connect as EVDO and get measured 400-500K speeds. All
this (presumably) because of the way the USB/(fake serial) drivers work.

Depends where you are too.. Here in Vegas, they use the same channel for
EVDO as 1X (call it 1X-EVDO) or some nonsense, and while you do have to
change the baud rate for big downloads, since the default is to use hardware
flow control, you probably won't get a buffer overrun...
