Verizon has also ... ( 1 year ago by dinnerandashow)
Verizon has also crippled the bluetooth modem on the treo 700p. it amrkets the treo 700p as a fast evdo with bluetooth modem. but in reality the evdo crawls and the bluetooth is so buggy it does not work. ethics of corporate america.
its called ... ( 1 year ago by dinnerandashow)
its called throttling... its very simple to do from the IT side..literally a few seconds to throttle down a network with the right commands. verizon has throttled their nework in order to control digital content and sell their own content, which will be subscription based. but its nothing new... corp america has a legacy of controlling media content.
No doubt. However ... ( 1 year ago by hyperkinetic)
No doubt. However throttling certainly goes against the notion of 'unlimited bandwidth' that was advertized when the contract was signed. These telcos cripple ALL their products in an attempt to nicke and dime their subscribers for every little thing they can.

It's a bluetooth connection. It's not that Verizon is crippling it, the technology itself is self crippling.
I could perform the ... ( 1 year ago by mastergunner99)
I could perform the mpseed test several different times throughout the day and will receive similar results each time. Even the 1MB test I just now performed surpassed 600kbits/s. That falls directly in line with how they advertise it as when they say speeds of 400-700kbits/s.
It depends on the ... ( 1 year ago by dinnerandashow)
It depends on the region.. Verizon is not a fool, they will make changes gradually over different cities... they may even leave the suburbs alone... why so they can continue claiming the fals high speed wireless.
Not true, the the ... ( 1 year ago by dinnerandashow)
Not true, the the unlocked Samsung phone directly from South Korea, that is untouched by American telcos works with bluetooth. Verizon cripples their hardware inorder to discourage laptop use.
How can you ... ( 1 year ago by mastergunner99)
How can you possibly say they are discourging laptop use when they just released a whole slew of new aircards including a the USB720 that can work for both laptoop and desktop?
We'll omit the fact that saying unlocked in a CDMA product is completely illogical. But if you're saying that the Samsung phone is the only one that works via bluetooth you're incorrect. The Palm Treos are also capable of broadband access via bluetooth.
I can go to ... ( 1 year ago by mastergunner99)
I can go to Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, and Janesville, and still retrieve the same results on my phone. As a matter of fact, next time I am in each area, I will illustrate that very point on YouTube.
I bought a Treo ... ( 1 year ago by sharxus)
I bought a Treo 700P and an aircard for my laptop the same day. The contract, and the store manager, referred to UNLIMITED DATA for both. Two months later Verizon cancelled my aircard service. Why? Too much usage. REALLY. They said I was using way too much, and must be downloading music/videos. NEVER DID. You know what it is? I use TABBED BROWSING. That is all it takes. Verizon sucks.

What 99.99% of you ... ( 1 year ago by hellfactor)
What 99.99% of you twits fail to realize is it depends on location of CDMA/EVDO towers. If a Sprint tower is closer to the vicinity of the user than the Verizon tower, of COURSE it's going to be faster. The Palm TREO in any model formfactor does not show the signal strength of the data network, just the voice network. Because it's funny, 80% of the PDA user base we get tells us we're faster than Sprint or T-Mobile...gee, wonder why?
As Mastergunner and ... ( 1 year ago by hellfactor)
As Mastergunner and Adinnerandamovie both explain in the followup: signal strength, time of day, and location are important factors. Being Technician for Verizon Wireless in the Lincolnwood, IL region and had been working downtown Chicago, I know what signal clot is like and that's what happens...lag and potential lockups of data receive. Works the same way as DSL: how far you are from the central office and how many people are logged into 1 terminal.

Tabbed browsing ... ( 1 year ago by jnj101)
Tabbed browsing does not increase your bandwidth. When you visit a page it downloads the kilobytes one time until you access something else on the page. Tabbed browsing seriously was not your problem and its really funny that you think tabbed browsing is an issue. Tabbed browsing is the same thing as visiting a web page. Its the TX/RX transfers that increase bandwidth loss.
The whole point of ... ( 1 year ago by jnj101)
The whole point of broadband is mobility. Bluetooth is a slow technology in general. Its specifically for syncing or voice calls. No one can expect to use bluetooth on a fast connection do to the technology itself does not have fast enough decompression. I think its funny you think verizon discourages laptop use when that is primarily how they sell service. I am with was with sprint and switched to verizon because of the more areas i can get on my laptop.
My understanding ... ( 1 year ago by sharxus)
My understanding was that Verizon allows you enough data to check out a certain number of page views (estimated); when you use five tabs at once to check MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, Gmail, and etc. it uses up a lot of bandwidth. No? That's what they suggested. It's funny though, because they didn't even tell me it was cancelled, then WHAM! gone. They DID credit $300, so it's cool.

Like mentioned earlier, location, location, location. I jsut ran the same test on my Treo 700W and got 485 kbit/sec, not too shabby. No lag here.

Thing is though, the mobile web card in treo's is faulty. try the same test with a moto q and it will rape the sprint phone. Same reason the Iphone sprint test is done with a treo~only people in the wireless industrys are aware the treo modems are faulty.
