If anyone in Vegas or Milwaukee can confirm, we can update the first page as confirmed EVDO Rev A cities.

I will be in Las Vegas in a few weeks and can do some additional testing when there.

When I was in Vegas last week I swore I saw the signal of REV A but then it disconnected and after that all I got was regular EVDO so not sure if it was a fluke that I saw the REVA signal.

Currently at the Mandalay Bay (Las Vegas) for DevConnections:

Seems to be Rev A down (up to 1.5mbps) and 1xRTT up (less than 100kbps).

Is your Sprint Connection Manager showing "EVDO Rev A" (hover mouse above signal - see first post for screen shot). Those speeds seem more like "good" EVDO Rev 0 ones.

Granted I'm deep inside the cavernous conference center... Here's the hover:

I'll try to mess with my RWIN settings next.

Looks like Seattle is "officially" announced with RevA....

There is also an entry on dslreports that suggests upload is indeed RevA.

RevA is running in Michigan. I find it in Jackson, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, St Joe, and all over the suburbs of Detroit. It doesn't seem to be in Detroit proper yet.

From the top of our building (straight shot to tower) with 67db I get amazing speeds. I have topped 2Mbps several times on downlink and over 1Mbps on uplink. I have seen ping times under 100ms but never the 50 that people talked about. The best I have seen is 79ms.

I wonder how many people don't realize how much of this is really there already.

We have heard of a few in Seattle getting it, and Sprint officially announced EVDO Rev A in Seattle today:

I have kind of a dumb question, but, can you tell if you have REV A service with a REV 0 card by placing cursor over power bar or through the Device Info & Diagnostics Very Happy

? I have the AC 580. I live about 35 miles north of Seattle and I am wondering if I have service at my residence. I am thinking the answer is no, but thought I would try anyway.
