EVDO is known for having a very high latency. As far as I can make out from
various comments posted on these newsgroups is that mileage varies widely
amongst users. I do have the same problem sometimes - I simply cannot get to
some sites at all. And some other sites take forever to load - or not at
all. When I check the connection speed it indicates over 500 Kb! But I have
to make do with what works - I realize this is fairly new technology and am
pleased with the convenience it provides.
If you always get errors in connecting to sites as Google.com or Yahoo.com,
I would first check the connection as established in VZAccess Manager first.
CLick on Options and the on Test WWAN Device. If the Coverage shows as
1XEDVO Digital the your broadband connection itself is working okay. If it
shows 1XRTT Digital then you do not have a broadband connection. Check with
VZW if broadband access is really available in your area of usage. I have
found that when I am in a non-EVDO coverage area my computer does almost
exactly what you say you are experiencing!
