When I was home for the summer I definitely had BT throttled down to ~1k, useless.  When I was home for winter break however, there was a lot less obvious or no throttling.  I had the impression it had to do with the Comcast court action and "undoing" their system before similar action could be taken against them.  I still think it is a generally crappy service with a rather large house only getting a useful signal at a certain angle on one shelf of one bookcase in the whole house.  (opposite side from the tower we get service from, go figure) We even drove to the base of the tower we get service from using Google earth to find it and a UPS to power the modem and didn't have full "bars".  It isn't a "put it where it is convenient and out of sight" service.  I believe once our contract is up we will be switching to a different service, unless Sprint can better leverage the tech; i.e. speed, signal strength, and maybe even price. (Yeah right)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JaggedXJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 2:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint and Clearwire edge closer to deal, world waits with bated breath]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/sprint-and-clearwire-edge-closer-to-deal-world-waits-with-bated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/sprint-and-clearwire-edge-closer-to-deal-world-waits-with-bated/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now a 4G iPhone would look great on Sprint, 3G????? Come on Apple, 3G was so last year, 4G is the real deal.

THAT would be a news-worthy moment.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff Lewis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2008 4:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint and Clearwire edge closer to deal, world waits with bated breath]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/sprint-and-clearwire-edge-closer-to-deal-world-waits-with-bated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/sprint-and-clearwire-edge-closer-to-deal-world-waits-with-bated/</guid><description><![CDATA[You do realize the headline was basically just hyperbole, right?  Most of this is an American-centric site.  They're even a part of AOL.  Also, you may want to do a little more research so you have a better understanding of what is a standard and what people in the US use.  GSM is used in the US.  There are CDMA and other networks as well(much of the world still uses CDMA vairants).  Why have every provider switch to GSM when there are new formats coming soon?  Oh...and Canada uses ATSC.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sitruc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2008 12:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint and Clearwire edge closer to deal, world waits with bated breath]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/sprint-and-clearwire-edge-closer-to-deal-world-waits-with-bated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/sprint-and-clearwire-edge-closer-to-deal-world-waits-with-bated/</guid><description><![CDATA[to tell you the truth, I'm waiting with tomato sauce breath, but whatever you say]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CUBSWILLWIN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2008 4:00PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
