Question about EV-DO vs. 1xRTT

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Currently I use a v710 with my laptop to connect at an indicated 230,400
bps using Verizon's network, and the cost to me is just normal phone
minutes.

It is faster than a dialup phone modem- I downloaded a 1.2 MB file and
it took 6.5 minutes by landline, but only 1.75 minutes via Bluetooth.
(it took 2 seconds by cable modem).

The question is, if I would get the Moto E815 which has EV-DO, would I
improve my internet connection speed if I use the same connection method?

thanks,

What everybody keeps misunderstanding is that the 230,400 that you see, is
just the connection speed between the computer and the phone, through the
cable. Your internet speed is completely separate.

OK, I understand that. It's still faster using DUN to vzw than a 56K
modem to a local ISP. The question remains, would it be faster still if
EV-DO (on an e815) instead of 1xRTT (on a v710)?

Yes, the connection between the phone/computer, phone/bluetooth. If you
want to see your actual connection speed, once connected use cnet or
speakeasy to test. Some will offer that you will get 4xs the speed with an
EV-DO phone, but I think you'll find it the same or similar as long as your
using data via minutes of use. dr

Can you point to these discussions?

Is it permitted with the v710 at 1xRTT?
