Yesterday I finally broke down and got myself an EvDO card from
Sprint. I selected the Novatel U720 so that it was compatible with
both my Macbook Pro and my older iBook G4.
So here's my real question, which is the better driver to use,
Apple's WWAN driver, or the Novatel EvDO driver downloaded from
Sprint?
In my neck of the woods, true EvDO isn't available yet, so the
speeds are pretty choppy. I can get about 1.3Mbps download, but
only about 92kpbs upload. I doubt switching drivers will improve my
speeds much if at all, but I'd like to play around and see what I
can do to boost things.
Anyone have any experience with either driver they can share?
I use Sprint 1xEVDO via Bluetooth on Treo 700p occasionally. It works
well. As for drivers, I'd always just use the Apple driver. You could
always try the 3rd party driver if you're curious, but I doubt the
speed will change.
Also, if you're getting 1.3Mbps download, you're on 1xEVDO. 1xRTT
(the non-EVDO data network) is 144kbps max.
