Billings, MT | Is LTE upsurge a threat to Wi-Fi's future? Doubtful. The only reason there's an upsurge in LTE is because most devices come with it. Most people will utilize WiFi due to lower cost on their overall bill.
If LTE wasn't that expensive, or had a much larger cap, more people would utilize LTE. |

Camden, TN | I agree and I thought the author of the article was stupid but the article is about the UK so it really doesn't pertain to us. That's the one thing about this site that annoys me. Most of us here are American and Canadian no one cares about UK or EU crap. If an article is about that at least label at such so I'm not wasting my time. |

the caps and the speeds are why WiFi will always trump LTE when one can get on some wifi.
Especially in the home, I doubt there is an LTE link that could beat my home wifi connected to a cable modem in actual real world usage.

| That is exactly why VZ will never build out a Wifi network like the cable companies do. They could very easily cover almost the entire city of NY (and many other areas) by feeding hotspots off of the FIOS network but it would directly affect their LTE revenue.
Between Optimum Online, TWC, and people with open Wifi (thank you!) I am able to use my Xoom without LTE service at all. |

As long as WiFi is free, LTE can't eclipse WiFi in usage. |

Yeah LTE is more of a marking tool for cell phone company's but the data cap with most providers will make Wi-Fi a MUCH better option for years to come.
