sudden latency issue

trouble07 · Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 9:29 pm Post subject: sudden latency issue

ok, i've had alltel evdo for about 5 months and always keep a steady ping between 85-150
but today a few hours after i got off work the ping is averaging around 500+

i'm on rev 0
rssi is -56 db

the tower is really close it could land on my house if it fell,lol
oh and my download speeds are still averaging at 1900k
what could be some possibilities for the latency issue

the ping is starting to go back down now
it was probably a tower issue or something
but it seems now that i have a little more download speed Smile

I had the same issue yesterday afternoon, early evening. I didn't have the chance to check it this morning. I think it was more than a tower issue, I live north of Raleigh in North Carolina.
