You can keep us posted here on the advance of South FL on EVDO bud.

Thanks for all the good info!

We need speed tests also on different locations, feel free to upload us with information.
 
I'm in 33134 and I'm getting 3g with 3020 PRL on my flashed fascinate but only on EVDO mode, I need the 3022 PRL too. I did some speed tests around my job where I get 4 bars, I got ~2100kbps down, 750 up. Inside my house where I get only 1-2 bars I get ~750kbps down, ~150kbs up. I know this isnt as fast as other networks, but I was so used to 1x, this is awesome!
 
Oh come on people, really? Do a little research and you'll find threads about this going back weeks, don't you look at the forum? I am in central Florida, had 3G for weeks and it sux BIG time why all the excitement?

Those are extremely good speeds for any EVDO benchmark bro...

Sprint's EVO i have seen doing mo no more than 1000~ kbps. usually 700~

i love 3g :)
 
Did the manual update to 3022.prl but still stuck on 1X in Kendall and the Turnpike area. I'll see on my way to work if I will get 3G up by Coral Gables later on today.

Well, had it for about 6 weeks now and this is all I can get, even if I go sit under a MetroPCS tower. It is capped, cuts out during downloads then switches back to CDMA. It is unreliable, finicky and crap. I am running Sense ROM with the 3022 PRL before anyone starts. Can't send text while on EVDO or MMS have to switch back to CDMA to do that even with this new all glorious 3022...VERY disappointed. So forgive me if I don't seem too enthusiastic about it.
