Post subject: 1xEVDO upgrade in process?
Archived from groups: alt>cellular>sprintpcs (more info?)

Hello, I've been a huge fan of the Sprint PCS Vision $15/mo unlimited
internet pricing model as the connection (after I setup a keep-alive
infinite ping) has been great -- until about 2 months ago. Since
then, connections have been aweful and appear to get worse as local
talk traffic goes up and down.

I have traveled around the whole San Francisco bay area as well as
beyond and have the same problem. From what I can only assume, could
have Sprint PCS upgraded their system to incorporate tighter QoS among
the data traffic to a much lower priority? Does anyone have any
information on this because since EVDO isnt available and no better
pricing/performance package available, I am stuck with bad service. I
would be happy to pay more for higher priority QoS.

Are you using a handset, smartphone, or connection card?

I sure the hell hope you aren't using it with a handset tethered to a
PC. That is against SPCS's TOS and will ruin it for those of us who use
it only with extreme moderation. And if you are using a handset-to-PC
connection, SPCS can cut off your Vision access entirely, charge you by
the KB, or both. Those keep-alive pings alone might end up costing you
well over $100.

If you have a connection card, I'd sure like to know what plan you have
that offers unlimited Vision for only $15 per month. If you have a Treo
or some other smartphone, it's probably just a temporary issue.

I would hope SPCS does indeed sacrifice data for voice, especially for a
$15 per month unlimited plan. I'm sure they always have, but maybe
they're just getting a little better at it. I certainly would be pissed
off if I couldn't make a voice call because some guy is out their
running infinite pings.

All usual disclaimers apply
