So I tried out LTE today... very impressed.

Verizon 17Mbps down / 6 Mbps in NW D.C. at the office.

That was quite unexpected. Odds are it was probably the only modem in the area but even then it was pretty cool

I knew I forgot something

Telus did an LTE trial up here this week... 73 Mbps apparently.

But you'd never get that on a USB modem or phone.

That's flipping fast. 17mbps is all I could want out of a phone. Damn.

 

[vshah]

that's way faster than the current CPUs could even render a webpage. would be great for audio/video streaming though.

I'll be impressed if its pulling this after they've sold a few million LTE handsets.

Probably not a near-future phone no. HSPA+ at 17 Mbps beside 73 Mbps LTE

In other words, 39 minutes worth of data.

Is that a phone or a data stick?

thats what i always tell people here but people keep insisting that pentium 3's websurf as well as i7's and that we dont need dual core phones for lte @#$%^&*!

 

[OBLAMA2009]

thats awesome we have lte in sf as well but i dont have an lte modem. i cant wait for the phone which they told me at the verizon store will be here at the end of the month

it would be nice to dump dsl for that but even 3g is so unreliable that i doubt i could ever do that

Hmmmm....when a LTE phone hasn't been released to the market yet ??
