Tester Tom Allread encountered some heavy traffic near Biggs

Broadband was certainly reliable at this location in the northeastern Central Valley just west of Oroville with all four providers testing at served speeds.

Plenty of Broadband at this Isolated Locale

This lovely photo is taken by tester 10, Steven Crews. This is site 1993, near Mono Lake east of the Sierra Mountains. What kind of broadband can we find at this location? The Verizon phone clocked in at 26 Mbps. The Verizon netbook hit 18 Mbps. There is plenty of broadband here for surfing, streaming and texting if your provider is Verizon. AT&T were speeds were both below 6 Mbps for both netbook and phone, while Sprint and T-Mobile service were negligible.

Beautiful View but No Broadband

Our first photo from the fifth round. Here is the view from site 2357 just east of Kings Canyon National Park. And what kind of broadband service can be found at this location? None of the providers we tested, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint had any service at this location. There is no opportunity to surf, check e-mail or have a conversation at this location. Places like this are getting harder and harder to find as the mobile broadband providers build up their networks.

T-Mobile Beats Verizon on the First Day of Testing!

On the first day of testing T-Mobile beat Verizon both up and down. Will this continue? Stay Tuned!
