Updated my card and evidently I'm not in the Rev A area, even though it shows on the Alltel map that I am! Ugh..

Much of NW Arkansas now has Rev A (Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville)... along the I-540 corridor. I usually get average 1000-1200 download, 500-600 upload, when visiting there. Not a lot faster download then my regular DO just east of that area.

But... impressive is regular EVDO in Oklahoma City. On weekends, no Rev A there, that I have seen. But consistent 1600-1800 download, 100 upload. Very nice if the signals are strong, like at the Ok State Fairgrounds.

Sweet, finally got some rev A in the Manhattan, KS area.

It was funny, too, because I emailed Alltel support a few days ago inquiring as to when this area would get rev A. The tech replied that they had already performed all the updates they had planned for this year, so I took that to mean I wouldn't see it until 2009 or later, which was kind of a disappointment. Imagine my surprise when this morning, the rA icon popped up on my Touch. Smile

Alltel provides the EvDO for Sprint here. One of those weird areas where voice comes from the PCS band but data comes from Alltel on the cellular band.

RevA is here but the speeds aren't that much better than Rev0. Upload has increased to about 300 or so though.

When I go to a native Sprint RevA area...wow... I can hit 2 megabits and 500 up easily.

I just received a message on my Alltel phone that the network in my area has been upgraded. Can anyone in the area verify whether Rev A is available yet?

RevA found in Rusk, TX. I actually live closer to Jacksonville and the tower that is in jacksonville, but with a little luck and tweaking I've been able to grab the RevA signal from the tower in Rusk, 9.9miles from my house using a wilson omni.

rssi of -93 when this was done:

The following is with -75rssi according to quicklink mobil, seem to be getting lower speeds wih the better rssi, perhaps more noise or traffic on the tower. The -93 reading was done an hr before this one.

I just can't feel all warm and fuzzy with Rev A....
