I checked the 3g image at the bottom and I have the http://1111/bmi. Just wondering what this means? It seems like a bad thing but I haven't a clue why!?

that's only if he's using ad block with firefox.

Also, you can see the images loading locations in the status bar while they are being loaded onto a page.

Three days and I haven't seen hide nor hair of the proxy server. Right-clicking on the EVDO Forums logo and it used to say 1.1.1.x, now it says evdoforums.com.

Now, if I can just do something about this lousy 300 kbps download speed...

No proxy for me in a few days. Other folks on howardforums have said they are no longer behind the proxy as well. I am south of Jackson, MS on SID 205.

*Still has his fingers crossed*

No change here. With or without the proxy, my speeds are the same. Six months ago, I was pulling in 1.5 mbps steady. Sad

I am thinking that the card is hosed for some reason. I know that Alltel is merging with Verzion but what about the sprint roaming thing between Sprint and alltel??? I am wondering if that has gone the way of the do-do!! Last I checked i was on a Sprint tower. this sucks too!! I was looking for RevA and now I have evdo with Dial up speeds!!! Evil or Very Mad

For at least some of us, the problems with poor speeds started when Alltel decided to reroute all of our connections through the ByteMobile device.
At first, Alltel cranked in image compression and everyone screamed.
Then Alltel backed off the image compression.
After a while, everyone with broken webpages and cached images got tired and started complaining.
So, Alltel backed off the caching of images.
Now, we are left with our traffic still routed through the ByteMobile device, adding unneeded hops and slowing our traffic. Why?
Probably to monitor and analyze our usage. Some would say that Deep Packet Inspection is probably going on there too. Maybe they are figuring out ways to further monetize our connections.
We are paying for an internet connection, Alltel isn't really delivering that.

I do enjoy your conspiracy theorism. Smile

But, it makes perfect sense. It would also explain my sudden slow-down in speeds as I live less than 3 miles from the tower and as I stated in another topic, I was practically right next to the tower (RSSI -51) and the speeds didn't change.

I'm going out of town this weekend to a couple of larger cities, I'll test the connection then to see if it's either a: my computer (which it's not), b: the tower, or c: Alltel as a whole.

...I'm leaning on C.
