Hubby, you are picking the eyes out of it. Sure there are some places where backhaul is problematic. Mostly people are downloading, so it's the forward link where speed really matters [forward link being delivery from the base station to the subscriber for those not up with the jargon they use].

You might not see benefit to subscribers from 1xEV-DO compared with W-CDMA but if you go to Japan, or click to it, you'll see that Au aka KDDI with their 1xEV-DO service have trounced D'oh!CoMo which was first out of the gates, but stumbled and struggled to get W-CDMA operating well enough to sell.

Around the world, W-CDMA has struggled whereas 1xEV-DO works [though Monet's early service crashed in financial ruin]. In Korea, 1xEV-DO is big time and is showing the world how to do data, with profits to match.

Verizon is the same dopey company that helped wreck Globalstar, so I'm not surprised if what they do is not much use. <Maximum possible speed varies. It declines with distance from cell site and is limited to 1.54 Mbps at certain cell sites with backhaul limitations. Number of users on the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess network may also affect maximum possible speed. Average upload speeds expected to be between 40-60 Kbps. >
