CMDA via Sprint is currently limited to 14.4 kbps. If you connect via
Sprint.net (no extra charge) there is a proprietary compression built
in. Sprint is trying to encourage other dial up ISPs to use the
standard, but I don't know if any do. In August, they promise to
convert to G3 (whatever that is) which is supposed to provide
broadband connection speeds over compatible devices.
