Verizon Wireless Talks Up LTE Speeds
5-12mbps real world for 4G proves that 3G never did live up to it's potential.
So here we are march of 2010 4G is on the verge of being launched, and supposedly HSPA+ is capable of better than what both LTE & Wimax put out in real world conditions. All I'm saying is that I think it's sad that 3G never lived up to it's full potential. Tmo's 3G HSPA+ network in Philly is doing similar speeds that Sprint/Clear & Vzn's 4G networks are putting out.
No surprise about your comments. LTE is hitting 40-50mbps and HSPA+ 42mbps but yet you claim its faster. I'd say at this point the best you can comment is they are pretty damned close to equal.

Jay... please reread the news release... the Thing is saying Download speeds of 50mb/s with AVERAGE speeds of 5-10mb/s. Tmo's speeds also have no one on the network (3g is a lot more susceptible to simultaneous usage.
HSPA+ (7.2) is showing aver...

I agree with Jayshmay. If LTE 4g speeds are not SIGNIFICANTLY faster than 3g than I see no reason to upgrading. The 3g speeds I get from Verizon are fast enough for my needs.

Let's Not Forget...
LTE is not just about faster speeds. Although that is a big part of it, it also makes delivering data cheaper and more efficient for companies as well. Not that they will pass that down to consumers, but maybe there will be more truly unlimited plans. It will also take a big step towards making wireless internet a bit broader instead of just searching for Wifi hotspots.
