Sucks to be me, that's way faster than my landline DSL speed. I need to get a new provider 🙁

Use up your 200mb or 2gb cap even quicker!

so with this you'll be over your cap in the first two days instead of the first 4 days...

Sadly, I'm sure 95% of users aren't intelligent enough to switch to "Wi-Fi" whenever they can. Oh well, the phone companies will win on that one.

"Verizon advertises LTE speeds of 5-12 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload."

Quick question, this advertised bandwidth of 5-12Mbps is this shared bandwidth or dedicated? If it is shared how is it shared?

 

[wishmaster12]

Almost as good as Skater bashing!

 

[memadmax]

But does it play crysis?

The embarrassing thing about this is that their wireless is still faster than 80% of what all of Australia gets from wired connections..

great now we can communicate faster at the cost of eating food and the effect they have on bees.

Verizon's 4G sucks. It may be fast, but they "data manage" their network by funneling through a Proxy in LA, California. Fast doesn't cut it. You will have crappy pings and unreliable web surfing if you tether. Plus remember that you will being charged a small fortune.

Att wins, as usual, still have UN PLAN from Cingular and have unlimited Internet package, text etc $90 with tax and will never go up

 

[mcd023]

yea, the fastest land connection i can get is 5Mbps down...

I've seen speed tests on Verizon LTE phones that are almost identical. That doesn't mean that once the network becomes saturated Verizon or AT&T are going to get anywhere near that.

Oh lord I can't wait til they impliment.. And I get a compatible phone.. That is faster than my cable at home 🙁 Which, is embarrassing, tbh.. But then again.. We all know the cable companies are crap. Slightly off topic.. I'm surprised I haven't heard one AT&T sucks comment.. Maybe there is hope for Apple too? Nevermind.. prolly not ;P

Woot for rural Wyoming Bresnan Cable and 30 mbps internet! At least I can say my home internet is faster.

Now, you know when AT&T deploys all of two towers in New York City that you aren't going to get anywhere near the lab test speeds posted here. Crowded cities and lost/repeated packets are going to cut way down on that.

I think Verizon has it right in posting advertised speeds more likely to be what you will really see.

Yea, Downs/Ups matter but latency is what's more important to me

I have a T-1 at work, where I spend most of my time. I get 4 mbps down and 2 up with HSPA.

Why would I want to use wifi?
