Re: Good Features, Not Enough Backhaul Bandwidth It's anecdotal, for sure, but it's about true.
I routinely get between 1 and 1.2 megabits down on my Touch Pro tethered. It doesn't even seem to be very signal dependent past about 30% of perfect signal, it just sits there. I consider that pretty good for Rev.A around where I am.
Out here, AT&T has been awful, (and I mean, AWFUL) until about a month ago when they decided they were going to upgrade everything. There are mini towers spread all over some parts of the foothills, others for areas where the dips in terrain make it absolutely necessary. I've never seen cellular antennas these small (they're about a foot tall, perhaps 3 inches in width), all over the place. Mounted on street lights, power poles, lonely poles, just about everything more than 10-15 feet in the air.
I'm assuming it's now a lot better around those parts.
