Got the EVDO
Monday, March 12, 2007 by Dave Winer.
The EVDO card arrived today. It took a bit of fussing to get it working, but it does work now. 
When I use it downstairs I only get two bars on the connection strength graph, and it disconnects so often as to make it useless. Upstairs I get five bars and it's stayed up for over an hour now. 
It's a lot slower than my DSL, slower even than DSL over wifi. Disappointing, but the tech support person at Evdoinfo assures me that it's normal. 
I'll run some formal performance tests and report back.
