Rumors Trickle About Verizon’s 1xEV-DO Plans
I
recently reviewed Verizon’s 1xEV-DO service, and walked away
impressed. In fact, I signed up for the unlimited service, even though I
live in an area that
gets marginal 1xRTT coverage at best. 1xEV-DO offers speeds that
are competitive with cable modems and DSL; 1xRTT is roughly double that
of dialup.
PC 5220 supports both 1xEV-DO and 1xRTT, and selects the fastest
network that is available in your area (1xEV-DO is only live in San
Diego and Washington, DC). A
HowardForums member has posted some credible-sounding information
about Verizon’s plans for 1xEV-DO rollout. The bad news is that Verizon
is running late. The good news is that they’ll have flexible pricing
plans.
