EVDO does have its limits, I haven't tried something with Rev A but the older Rev0 standard will not work for this, max allowed upload speed is around 130kbps and under real-world testing I cannot send anything over 32kbps reliably and even then its iffy.

I've been testing AT&Ts 3G and its great, over 320kbps upload speed with just the stock antenna and a weekend test was able to broadcast a 128kbps AAC+ stream over it with little audio issues.

I just plugged my Sprint Treo 750 into my laptop, using it as a modem to run several of the bandwidth speed tests available online. I'm in San Diego County and ran tests using servers ranging from Los Angeles to Fort Worth. Here are the upload speeds I got (in kbps): 93 - 117- 98 - 125 - 126- 130. I would say that 90kbps would be sustainable based on those results and my own experience in using the Sprint EVDA Rev0 service on a daily basis. In areas where there is no EVDO service Sprint data service falls back to 1xRTT speeds which is like being back on a 28kbps modem, but in areas with EVDO service I always get robust service (for the curious, the download speeds in those tests averaged about 450kbps). I've looked at some reports about Sprint EVDO Rev A upload speeds and 200kbps seems to be the low end with some users reporting over 600kbps at times: 300-500 seems to be the norm. I've made extensive use of cellular data networks for about three years now and I've become a big fan: with the faster ATT 3G, Sprint EVDO RevA, etc. networks it has become a very nice way to move data around from anywhere, even moving vehicles. I spent many hours tethered to a Marti doing remotes back in the early 70's: maybe we finally have a system to compete with that venerable technology.
