Look at the bottom of VZAccess Manager window and it will tell you if you are in a "Rev A" area:

Yep, those are reversed (thanks for catching it).

Also, for the benchmarks, we are only getting 2 bars (-94dBm) signal, not the greatest.

Washington DC area reporting here (Silver Spring, MD).

Shows RevA on VZAccess, however here at home, my reception is only 1 bar.

Will re-post tomorrow from a better coverage area.

From these very few reports so far I am impressed with the Vz latency, pings to Google are beating what we are routinely seeing from Sprint Rev A. Looking good so far.

We shipped some AC595 to customers (and employees) throughout the country, so we should start hearing of other reports over the next few days.

Anyone heard about when EVDO Rev A will be available in Atlanta?

What data card are those reporting Verizon Rev.A using to achieve those speeds?

Sierra AirCard 595 (the only Rev A card that Verizon is currently shipping).
