| Ahead of what schedule? Talk is cheap. VZ says a whole lot, but its still vapor. 5 - 12 mbps is unfortunately low, and of course real world results will be far less. Would of thought they would aim higher, being as they are trying to beat everyone out (besides Clear). Wonder what upload will be.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless you know what you're doing. |

Would of thought they would aim higher, being as they are trying to beat everyone out (besides Clear). Wonder what upload will be. Top speed from AT&T's 3G at the moment is ~2.2Mb/s
Even if they only achieve half of their estimates out of the gate, the low end beats AT&T and their high end is more then triple the speed.
Right now mobile broadband has no speed limits, it's simply "as fast as it can be", but I think we're going to start seeing tiers as we do with fixed broadband. Ultimately just like their FIOS operation VZ will use annual speed-limit hikes to entice current users to re-up and extend contracts in order to lock in higher speeds... 2011 you sign up for the 6Mb/s tier... 2012 maybe they'll offer an 8Mb/s tier... who knows? |
