1 edit | Real world speeds? Karl,
How do you know that the real world speeds we'll see on Verizon LTE are 5-10mbps? I clicked the link but that had nothing to do with Verizon's deployment.
If it's really only 5-10 that's pretty fast but disappointing at the same time. |

Are you assuming that they tested the throughput with only 1 device? |

| Not to mention testing LTE on a cell site hooked into the same backhaul that is running 3G in the first place. In other words there are lots of devices being used already. |

It's 5-10x what 3G is now, and would actually have signal everywhere since it's 700Mhz.
If VZ does this right, it will really be popular with satellite users and even some DSL subs out in ATT/Qwst territories. That's assuming the mobile cards have plans without low or possibly no caps.
So in summary, since they have way more 700 spectrum than ATT, they can either be a lot of peoples' friends or just another enemy.

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority. |

kudos:16 | Maybe for you, but in Montreal we're on HSDPA/HSPA+ (3G), and we're *already* getting 5-10 Mbps in real-world speeds.
From my apartment, typical speeds when tethered to my iPhone (on Rogers) are about 5.3Mbps, limited to that because of the iPhone hardware being 7.2Mbps. Bell's network supports 21Mbps theoretical, I believe, so you should be able to see 10+ Mbps on their network.
If they're only offering 5-10 Mbps on 4G, then it's not about raising speeds as much as it is about providing those speeds more consistently, which is certainly a good thing. |
