Re: Wireless broadband expansion changing the game That's odd; T-Mobile is testing HSPA+ here in the States, and I know that at least Bend Broadband has an HSPA+ network. That said, we'll be skipping to LTE for our largest carriers (Verizon and AT&T) and WiMAX for Sprint.
That said, Canadians have HSPA+ pretty much wherever they go. We can say the same thing about EvDO, but not of HSPA/+/WIMAX/LTE. |

Wireless Broadband will never replace wired services in any large numbers especially to home. It just doesn't come close with the performance, reliability or robustness. |

kudos:2 | I never said that wireless will replace wired. However you guys have a full overlay on HSPA+, something that can't be said for US carriers. |

brad - in Atlantic Canada HSPA+ is everywhere. I was in remote Sussex NB at the ski hill this weekend(where they don't even have dialup about 14k) and could pull 3mbps on Bells new HSPA network. |
