| | LTE Speeds It always amazes me that the advertised speeds (5-12Mbps) are so far below what is actually being received so far.
16-29Mbps Down and 8-16Mbps Up are closer to what is being seen by some testers. | |

They don't want to promise/guarantee speeds the testers are getting, because when the crush of more customers hits the system, the speeds will surely drop. | |

| Re: LTE Speeds VZW with 700MHz 10+10 implementation will have 76Mbps down and 36Mbps up roughly counting in protocol over-head per sector. Most sectors in the US will have 6 in the most densely populated areas. So:
76*6=456Mbps down shared
36*4=144Mbps up shared
The cell sites will be built using a new IP-RAN with completely pure GigE or higher fiber back-haul on most urban sites. VZW won't have a problem promising those speeds to those users ALL THE TIME. Sure they can scale up to 76Mbit per user but then you have the EvDO problem of bandwidth carrier saturation. VZW with LTE wants wire-line like broadband quality in LTE.  | |

kudos:1 | Re: LTE Speeds A tower sector really only has 76/5=15, 15 users on it? Come on. The moment anything other than an aircard hits the network, its going to be 1-2mbps. Like EVDO on a super day. | |

New Orleans, LA | Alright! Faster speeds. More Verizon apps. More reasons to use Verizon for more and more
Oh, and now laughably low caps so we can be forced to hit penalties | |

LTE should have higher caps. If not it's useless. cinsidering the first devices are USB dongles for coputers, what good is 5 GB a month? For a smartpohne, sure maybe 5 GB is alright. If I'm using LTE for an internet connection, hell no 5 GB isn't enough. I might hit that in a day or 2. | |

| | | Re: whats so much amusing about it? said by chgo_man99:For now HSPA+ will offer similar advantages in speed, even though LTE supposedly supports more users on spectrum or maybe even has lower latency.Because for most mobile internet uses it won't matter and desktop/ home laptop users waiting for a nice video game experience when they are left with no good wireline broadband options will hit caps.
T-Mobile launched it, ATT is launching it soon. ATT will lunch LTE after it.
Latency isn't only relevant to online gaming, it's a big part of VOIP. Stationary LTE service as a substitute for ye old copper presumably would have higher caps. (non-mobility enforced by a GPS chip inside the receiver, like what ATT did with their microcells) | |

Michigan City, IN |  LTE phones? Pricing? Caps?
What's so great about LTE compared to T Mobiles HSPA+ that is upgradable to 42+mbps speeds?
Not to mention for LTE you NEED a phone that does LTE in the first place, which Verizon doesn't even have yet. | |
