Re: One problem with your theory said by BF69:And that last bit, as we've been saying, is Verizon's master stroke. The carrier is offloading all of their unwanted, copper-based rural networks (and regulatory headaches, and union workers, and debt) to smaller telcos. They'll then come back into these markets in several years with LTE service that should out-perform first generation DSL and win many of those same customers back again (shhh, don't tell Fairpoint, Frontier, or Hawaii Telcom). According to Melone, Verizon's actually ahead of where they thought they'd be, with LTE voice service on tap for 2011DSL is about what $40-$50 a month and no caps? Verizon charges $60 for a 5 GB cap and $51.20 per GB overage fee for a mobile broadband? Sorry I'll take crappy DSL over that. I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in the face. People that live in areas that don't have access to cable/dsl are not going to embrace 3G, 4G, or 20G as long there are low caps and high overage fees. 3G isn't meant to really be a home solution, hence the low caps in place. I think that 4G has the potential to be marketed as a home connection. You keep going on about 5GB caps but you can't honestly believe that 4G is going to come with a 5GB cap in place.
Every company that has tiered speeds have different caps in place for faster speeds. There is no way 4G will have a 5GB cap. | |

Well this article is about 4G replacing DSL now isn't it?
if 3G isn't meant to be a home solution then how come they sell it as one?
Why shouldn't I believe that? I'm shocked they have it on 3G I'm shock they have the audacity to charge $51.20 per GB overage. So for then to continue to do stupid things would not surprise me.
Every company that has tiered speeds have different caps in place for faster speeds. There is no way 4G will have a 5GB cap. Unless you have a link Verizon stating otherwise I'll say they will have some rediculously low cap. | |
