Sprint 3G Speeds The Fastest CHECK IT OUT
FROM BOY GENIUS!
Codehttp://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/08/08/carrier-wars-sprint-speed-test-results/ As we’re sure you’ll recall, so far AT&T is sitting pretty with an average download speed of 933kbps and Verizon came in a bit lower at 701kbps according to our readers. Now, people, it’s Sprint’s turn. With subscribers still fleeing at a shockingly alarming rate, one might be lead to believe the carrier’s network just isn’t up to par. Well, if our Sprint-subscribed readers are any indication, that couldn’t be any further from the truth: Average download speed, EV-DO Rev. A: 1361kbps Median download speed, EV-DO Rev. A: 1310kbps Average upload speed, EV-DO Rev. A: 267kbps Median upload speed, EV-DO Rev. A: 245kbps Wow. Sprint’s average EV-DO Rev. A download speed bested AT&T by a huge margin — 428kbps — and it nearly doubled Verizon’s showing amongst our readers. Upload speeds fell right between the two aforementioned carriers, besting AT&T’s pathetic 180kbps but falling well short of Verizon’s 322kbps. There was far less data where upload speeds are concerned however, as less than half of readers who provided valid data included upload speeds in their reports. Why? We have no idea. As with each of the last two carriers whose 3G speeds we polled, we shaved the top and bottom five results, then 10, and took a look at the numbers once again: Average download speed, top and bottom five results discarded: 1345kbps Average download speed, top and bottom 10 results discarded: 1333kbps Quite clearly, Sprint’s numbers were impressively consistent — shaving the top and bottom 10 still left us with a downlink average only 28kbps lower than the raw average. Last but not least, our old school EV-DO Rev. 0-loving Sprinters: Average download speed, EV-DO Rev. 0: 466kbps Median download speed, EV-DO Rev. 0: 326kbps Average upload speed, EV-DO Rev. 0: 97kbps Median upload speed, EV-DO Rev. 0: 76kbps So, Rev. 0 was quite a bit slower than Verizon’s Rev. 0 numbers so if you’re on Sprint with an older 3G handset, it might be time to think about upgrading and taking advantage of that blistering Rev. A speed showcased by our readers. That wraps up this installment of the carrier comparison you love to hate and hate to love. How did Sprint do? Were you expecting big numbers from Old Yeller or did the results blow your mind? Let us know in the comments section and get ready for the next and final segment of Carrier Wars. Here is the supporting Data for the Test for REV A. Codehttp://www.filesavr.com/sprintreva3gspeedtestresults |

I had always believed Sprint really did have the speed over the other big two...But had never seen and hard evidence. There it is!
