*Hello Bruce:* To be quite honest - I haven't tested the unit while I was driving :). But if you want to do some tests, I'll gladly have you drive, or I'll drive and we can measure signal strength. A friend has a Roger's stick and has received full 2mpbs downstream at his marina with 500kbps minimum upstream.
The connectivity to the 3G network itself is dependent on the coverage and how they hand it over from tower to tower. The reliability is also dependent on the Rogers USB 3G Modem (aka Internet Stick) or relevant internet sticks. My WindMobile stayed on, non-stop between mid-night and 8:00 AM. Knowing very little about RF, I would assume that when people are waking up and turning their micro-ovens on it might have interrupted my connections. Just got a Telus and Bell stick for further testing. My WindMobile has been giving me close to 3 mpbs downstream and approx 300 kbps upstream. Voice Quality as always - depends on the quality of the signal strength on the 3G modems. However the router itself is performing above and beyond and the firmware team has been taking each and every input I've provided very seriously and have so far released new firmwares and updates within days of informing them. * * *Best,* *Reza.* -- Toronto based VoIP / Asterisk Trainer, I.T.
