I was looking around after Druadic's excellent WIFI post and...
I Just Woke Up After a Long Slumber!
4G is not as tempting as DX WIFI, unless you can afford it, but...
uncapped home Internet speeds up to 1 Gigabit/sec. download for $45 Mo.
WOW! That's almost 60 TIMES FASTER THAN Turbo Cable Internet.
That is the ability to download 90 full HDTV channels in Real Time and still watch a Netflix in real time, but as long as the server is uploading at the max speed. If no servers provide the same speed, then the download is limited to their upload rate, but if they do work that fast, with 4G you got it that fast.
Which explains perfectly why the cable giants like Time Warner are suddenly offering their top high speed services at the same $35/Mo. rate whereas last year they wanted $70/Mo. for 15Mbits/sec. Turbo Internet.
Unless 4G in practice is just too good to be true, The Giants have been blown totally out of the water.
So, does anyone here use 4G for the desktop or laptop and what are your experiences with the service?
