- I resently replaced my early v.34 sportster and got a new V.34+ courier. I
- also tried a new sportster with the new v.34+rom and my throughput and
- connects are better with the courier. I used to get mostly 26400/26400 now
- I get 28800/26400 most of the time. The throughput is also about 100cps
- higher with the courier. Sportster was 28800/3230 best, Courier 28800/3335
- typical. Speeds are for noncompressable zips and the like. 26400 also
- increase about 100cps. The question was it worth twice the price or
- $400.00 vs $200.00? Maybe, Like buying a good battery or tires for your
- car.
