Cellular South - Data speed question

[david.baum]

Is Cellular South's 1XEV network the same as AT&T's 3G network, from a speed standpoint?

If not, which one is faster? What is the difference? I do notice that when I'm not in a 1XEV area, the 1X data speed is comparable to dialup. Very slow.

Not much difference between 1XEV and 1X from what I can tell.

The 1XEV is about equal to 512Mb dsl as far as what I can tell.. It loads pages much faster on the BB than just having ordinary 1X... However, sometimes it may display 1X when your in a 1XEV area and I've been able to get about the same speeds... Before CS was switching over to EVDO the 1X was extremely slow

That may be why I can't tell.

CSouth advertises that their network has 3g speed so I would think that 1XEV would be comparable to 3g.

EVDO is 3G

I"ll sure be glad when they extend their 3G coverage to where I live this year. I always get only 1X. I think its a little faster than dial up. But then again, I haven't used dial up in so long, I can't remember. In either case its slow as ****

Where I live my phone is always fast, my friends who have AT&T can't keep up most of the time.
