I did a test of the Jump Smart EV-DO upload and download speeds. My test program was the free speedtest.net. Testing was performed using Jakarta location. All tests were within minutes of each other, and were run when my signal strength showed three out of four bars. Tests
Averaging three speed tests gave me these final results:
Download Speed: 1204 kbps (150,2 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 456 kbps (57 KB/sec transfer rate)
