I have seen a link here somewhere for a free web site to do a speed test to measure the speed of your downloads. Can anyone tell me what that address is? I'd like to test my Sony TX 17P and see what speeds I am getting.

OK. I found it myself on this site in another thread. Speedtest.net. I did the test and got 1236 download and 138 kbps. Is that rev a speed?

Nope, that would likely be Rev-0

Are you trying to determine if built in EVDO device is capable of Rev-A or if the area you are in has EVDO Rev-A coverage?

Hi Alex,
Well the built-in evdo is supposed to be rev a capable, but I heard here that it can't be until Sony puts out a firmware upgrade for the sprint connection manager comparable to the one sprint put out. I think almost 1300 kbps upload is pretty fast isn't ? I think that might mean it has rev a. I just got this laptop like 3 weeks ago. Sony has their own proprietary wireless manager called "SmartWi Connection Utility" that is quite different in appearance to the sprint one...

1300 is very good, and could very well be Rev-A... but in almost every case of Rev-A download bandwidth, users see better than 200kbps upload speeds, and yours is short of that. its why i think you aren't Rev-A.

now, your laptop may in fact have Rev-A hardware... i don't know.

but you need hardware AND network to see Rev-A speeds.

where are you, exactly? have you checked sprint static maps for Rev-A?
