Sprint announced today that it has upgraded the Sprint Power Vision Network with the even faster EV-DO Revision A in ten new markets. Sprint now offers Revision A technology in 20 major metropolitan markets across the country. With the latest upgrades Sprint subscribers in eligible markets should experience significantly faster average upload speeds of 300-400 kbps (compared with 50-70 kbps of current EV-DO networks). While download speeds will not increase by much, subscribers should now see download rates of 450-800 kbps from 400-700 kbps.

Customers value mobility and they value speed, and Sprint’s upgraded Power Vision Network is unmatched in delivering both. We offer the largest coverage area and the fastest data speeds, so our customers have the power to send and receive information at DSL-like speeds without being tethered to their desks or stuck inside their homes or offices.
