Verizon Wireless kicked some network sand in the face of AT&T on Friday by announcing its entire EV-DO network has been upgraded with higher speeds and lower latency.
Verizon announced Friday that its whole EV-DO network has been upgraded to EV-DO Revision A, which the carrier said offers 600K bps to 1.4M bps downstream and between 500K bps and 800K bps upstream. Its earlier EV-DO network delivered 400K bps to 700K bps downstream and just 60K bps to 80K bps upstream, Verizon said. Revision A is also designed for less latency, a type of delay that can hurt time-sensitive applications such as multimedia.
The Revision A network will let a user download a 1MB e-mail attachment in about eight seconds or upload it in less than 13 seconds, Verizon said.
The IPhone uses EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), a form of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) that falls far short of the nation’s fastest cellular systems.
EDGE averages 70K bits per second to 135K bps downstream.
So take that IPhone and AT&T.
