I started using Verizon’s Wireless Broadband service in August 2005. Below are some of my download/upload rates as tested with Broadband Reports and Verizon’s VZAccess Manager (the second line in each listing). Each site listing is hot-linked to Google Maps — you can see the area where I performed the test.

In late February 2006 I started using a Cingular 8125 with Edge/GPRS. I will also be reporting those results from Broadband Reports.

October 2006 — Switched testing service to Speedtest.net.

As of August 2007 I’ve discontinued my use of Verizon EVDO. I was not unhappy with their service, but instead made the decision based on logistical/financial reasons. I’ll miss the flexibility and convenience of Verizon EVDO, but I’ll now be using AT&T’s GPRS/Edge/UTMS service via a USB tethered HTC 8525 PDA. My work laptop does not have built-in Bluetooth, so I’ll primary use a mini-USB cable. Initial throughput results in the NYC Metro area have been impressive. We’ll see how this fares during my travels.

On the personal side, I’ve recently acquired an 8GB Apple iPhone. Stay tuned for some throughput results from AT&T’s Edge service with that device.
