 |
|
As you can see my upload speeds are great. I've checked several different sites just to make sure it isn't a fluke.
Problem is id much rather have that d/l speed now that I know my tower is capable of great speeds out here. Is there anything in ##DATA that can help me get more d/l at the price of u/l? I copied the sprint IP (i think its the tower) and want to always use this tower if possible. Im in a VERY rual area and am probably one of 3 people using this tower if that. Normally they send me off to witchata kansas for some 400ms ping time. with this one im getting like 68
I know I sound spoiled and shouldn't mess with it anymore than I have cause I found a great config but I recently got netflix for the ps3 and a 2 hour movie takes almost 3 hours to watch cause of the drops. It takes 10 minutes to load the movie after every drop and i get like 6 a movie. This is pretty unexceptable from an internet connection. It should be stable.
Is there any TCP settings in cradle point i can tweak or is this all on Sprint? |

Hope you have a grandfather plan with sprint, or those Netflix Movies are going to cost big $$$$$

I do. I got the contract the month before it ended. Verizon had an 8% company discount but when i saw sprint still had "unlimited" i was gone.
last month i asked the service rep how much bandwith i used last month and he said 11 gigs. so they know about it and I haven't seen any bills.
not like I leave torrents on all day i just like movies and utube. |

| That upload speed is unheard of. Especially if the tower is fed by a T1 like most rural towers. Makes no sense |

That speed is not possible with EVDO Revision A. Even if it were true, your hardware (which only accepts the Rev. A maximum upload throughput of 1.8Mbps) would not allow it. It is interesting though that multiple speed test websites gave you the same rough upload speed.
What hardware are you using? |

hardware was the c597. other tests were showing 2-4mbps that 5.6 was the highest i got. There is no 4G out here either unless they were testing. It goes without saying today the speeds are gone after reconnecting but I dont know how to change HA's and find the best routes.
this all happened after updating to the new smartview and playing with ##data a bit. |

I'm going to guess that you got an invalid reading due to test data being served out of a cache somewhere a long the way.
