AT&T Says T-Mobile's '4G' Numbers Are Wrong
Well at least Tmo. . .
42mb/s, and not just stop at 21mb/s like AT&T!!!!
AT&T plans to go to LTE, and skip the 42Mbps....
LTE = 100Mbps in theoretical max.
There's a reason others are moving from HSPA/EVDO

So LTE will allow a completely congested cell site to still offer 100Mbps to everyone connected to it? How'd they overcome that technological hurdle? Is Skynet now handling the backhaul?
🤣 🤣 🤣
skynet is aware! 😳
You'll notice that Verizon, the carrier that is launching LTE, is doing so posting estimated real world speeds, NOT theoretical caps
I think advertising by the caps is dishonest because the chance of that happening on ANY cell tech is virtually nil

You cannot say that is true information, to get estimated real speeds dump a bunch of users on a tower that has lte and run your speed test then! No one will ever get the speeds they claim at this time!
It's not 100% accurate, no, but it's a lot better than them pushing the fact that the devices are capable of bursts over 20MB/s (they are)
For their EVDO, their posted speeds are 800KBPS-1.4MB/s while in reality it's possible to get MUCH faster
It's like seeing how fast you can make a car when everyone else is using rockets
A LTE/Wimax tower should be able to provide faster speeds to more people with the same amount of fiber running to that tower instead of HSPA+
Does it have to be the middle of December or something?!!!?
And remember Jay, they just DROPPED the price on their 3g data across the board, so don't call the plans crazy yet (I doubt they'll be like Clear, but I wouldn't call them crazy yet)
10gb's/mo for $80/mo. I'm aware about the handset timeline, at least we'll get an idea during CES in January which isn't too far away.
USB modems will be coming before years end, but this is November, so appearently Verizon is literal when they said end of 2010, end means December, not November/December.
Lowell McAdam said that LTEs efficiency is lightyears ahead of EVDO
Who knows, perhaps LTE will put out bursts of 20-25mb/s on occassion, most I ever got with Clear was 15mb/s, but that was only like twice.
Tmobiles caught between a rock and a hard place with this. Yes, they can push HSPA faster, but not efficiently. And they don't really have anywhere to go with LTE unless they partner with another company (why I found their spurning of Sprint surprising)
I believe it would start in metro areas, then slowly expand outward.
Let's see T-1 or IP? Who has what for a backbone?
T-1 = 1.5Mb
Fiber = Gige
We know AT&T does not have IP so get those 3.5G and 4G posts off this thread. Wait - maybe you are on your I-PHONE so you are still downloading my post, that is if the connection did not break and drop you all together.
