clubs: | bandwidth I'd be amazed to see AT&T/VZ offer speeds of even 10mbps on their 4g networks.

| Re: bandwidth It depends on the capacity of the networks- if offering 100Mbps speeds means the network quality will degenerate into nothing with relatively small numbers of users per tower, then I'd prefer T/VZW to offer lower speeds for a better overall experience. But if the system can provide it, and there are no technical barriers, why not offer 100Mbps speeds? Of course they won't be cheap... (Then again, cellular carriers up to this point have not really had "speed tiers", the closest thing being whether you wanted 2G or 3G data) | |

| Re: bandwidth Haha, true enough... but any real 100mbps connection would essentially kill DSL and cable's high end customers- hell, it'd be a threat to FiOS (which doesn't have 100mbps publicly available but likely will in a few years) if the prices are right.
Though, if LTE wireless offered enough speed, could at&t theoretically offer U-Verse IPTV over it, and wipe out their physical plant entirely? | |
