Re: Speeds not impressive - 3G cell service will crush Wimax
@ TK-
ehhh...no. LTE tested in a 'lab environment' has achieved 100 Mbit speeds. HOWEVER, the 802.11n spec of WiMax can EASILY offer speeds of 1 Gbps, provided that the carrier has approx. 100 Mhz. of bandwidth. Which Sprint just HAPPENS to have. Also, just because the last mile can offer 100 Mbit pipes doesn't mean it WILL be offered. Unless you expect AT&T to snap their fingers and upgrade their backhaul overnight out of the pure goodness of their hearts, rest assured, 100/50 Mbit internet on LTE is still a pipe dream. BTW, I'm not particularly interested in a 100/50 connection that includes a 5 GB/month cap, no thanks.
BTW, how many LTE deployments have we actually seen in the US again...? |
