I have used the U720 and it’s speeds are incredible! I know where you can get great pricing and try one risk free for 30 days. Interested? Still unsure? Drop me a line.

I just received my U720. I’m running it on my Q1 Pentium without the Y cable. My highest speedtest so far showed a 2130 kbps down with 643 kbps up. The lowest numbers I got were 1540 kbps down with 451 kbps up.

Location: North Orange County, CA

I can’t believe the size of the antenna would be the bottleneck, but I don’t live in a market with any EV-DO, so I can only look and dream while tethered to my various coffee houses.

I remember when the quality of the espresso determined my patronage.

Probably a USB power issue, not enough juice out of the 5V .5 amp USB supply to reach the highest peak RF power for the highest perormance.

When I tether my Samsung ZX20 (HSDPA) phone via USB not only does it not charge the battery but the phone will actually run down the battery.
