    STILL faster than many home connections. Good job posting all of those. You are indeed getting some serious speed out there with your setup.

    Finally!

    You got some catching up to do.

    When ever you get the chance,.. do a quick test.

    Lets compare.

    I cant wait till we cross paths and I can run some tests from the same locations as you.

    Not bad. Ping could be better. But their speed has definitely improved since I was with them.

    Test.. I mean speed tests like your doing now.

    I run coast to coast. Eventually I will make my way to your area. I want to be able to compare Verizon and Sprint fairly in the same basic areas.

    I had fantastic 4G with Verizon at the Flying J there in Ogden. I picked up at the National Guard right around the corner. Then wife and I got our showers at the Flyng J, then she cooked dinner and we watched Netflix like your doing till we fell a sleep. I think its your phone.

    Dispatch keeps tossing me these fantastic paying short hauls here on east coast,.. else I'd be looking for something heading out that way. Might try something Friday heading west.

    Shirley NY,.. (East Long Island).
