I got back to my hotel room this evening and attempted to have a video chat with my wife and kids. While fun, the video quality on my end was horrendous – which prompted me to do some more testing. I ran a test on Speedtest.net and got pretty awesome results, 7.01 Mbits up and .61 Mbits down. So then I ran the new Pingtest and their results weren’t quite as rosy. Raw throughput is okay on the Overdrive, at least at this location, but the real problem appears to be the “line quality”. I suppose the biggest issue here is the packet loss. Anyway, don’t cancel your cable Internet connection just yet – the 4G offering from Sprint still has much room for improvement.
