My Verizon USB760 aircard has gotten noticably slower. Do you suppose this could be on purpose to force me to buy a new 4G version?
Doc:* When we were in Mexico, we had monthly data limits with our 3G Telecel.* If we went over the limit,*they*cut back on the download speed till the next billing month started.* Just a thought.Doc wrote:

Probably not, Doc.* My guess is that your computer is loaded up with temporary internet files and cookies.* If you haven't cleaned them lately, go to "control panel"and "internet options".* Be warned you may have to reset your computer to an earlier date and change some settings in your security program to get it running right again.* It should speed up your browser considerably.* It could be a little frustrating to get it all back going, but worth it.* If you have a program like PC CLEANER or something run itDoc wrote:

Doc, it can be your carrier is loaded with traffic* You will find this at certain times of day----5-6pm for example.* All the guys ask MaMa if she needs bread or milk on the way home.* It's really an excuse to stop and get some beer "while you are there".Doc wrote:
It must come and go (see joke in OTDE) because it is better now.
No, Tennessee.* Just ordered some parts from Weaver for the dinghy.* I need to get back down to install and take care of a few other things before leaving for the Chesapeake.Doc wrote:
Moonstruck,
My computer is cleaner than a recently powdered baby's butt. You still in SW Florida?
*I just replaced an old VZW aircard with Verizon's latest UWML290 4G/3G USB modem. The primary area I use the data modem in is still only 3G. With that being said my speeds are identical with the old Aircard or the latest USB modem. The advantage will be that I travel where there is 4G (LTE) and tested the USB modem near Philadelphia, PA the speeds were very impressive 12mbps(DL) and almost 10mbps(UL). So as the 4G footprint expands I expect to use it in 4G mode when ever I can.Doc wrote:

If you are using CDMA/EVDO a single EVDO carrier can only support 60 simultaneous users in a data session. If the towers are remote there is a good chance the Verizon site may only be an F1 or 1 carrier site. It really has nothing to do with VZW wanting to sell you a new 3G/4G card. Depending on where you use the aircard there might not be any 4G available. Both VZW and Sprint use CDMA for their current 3G network's. Very rural areas sometimes don't even have EVDO RevA only 1X-RTT which is very slow by today's cellular data standards.
As far as the iPAD users they don't slow the network anymore than a Smartphone, what is currently choking everyone's networks is "NETFLIX" or IPTV.
