Verizon's entire EV-DO network leaps to Rev. A
In what's likely yet another futile attempt to steal some limelight from that other national carrier today, Verizon has finally enhanced "100-percent" of its EV-DO network to Revision A technology. Of course, some locales have been enjoying the Rev. A niceties since February, but now Verizon users coast-to-coast (those under an EV-DO umbrella, that is) can stop feeling envious and start enjoying the higher speeds. Interestingly enough, this news comes just days after the company lowered its BroadbandAccess rates and merely hours after throngs of AT&T users reported their EDGE speeds skyrocketing for no apparent reason. Verizon subscribers in EV-DO areas can now expect average download speeds of nearly 600kbps to 1.4Mbps, while uploads will top out somewhere between 500kbps and 800kbps.

Has Sprint upgraded their EVDO network to Rev A 100% yet?

From personal tests, AT&T HSDPA in NYC is capped at 200KBps (kilobytes per second) which is 1.5mbps. At least, I think it's capped since the speeds were alwasy about 199.7KBps.

Can't wait to get the xv6800 and take advantage of Rev.A speeds.
