US vs CANADA, mobile internet 3G/4G

[westernmetaphor]

Why is Canadian mobile internet faster than US mobile internet?

In Canada, we're already at 4G LTE. That's up to 100 mb/s.

In the US, they're only at 4G, up to 6 mb/s?

troll or uninformed?

uninformed

also that link does not give estimated speeds that 4g lte should be running at

 

[westernmetaphor]

4G LTE ADVANCED is supposed to be as fast as up to 1 GB/s

Our 4G LTE is running at around 50Mbps here in Knoxville. Something like that. It's pretty quick.

I have LTE and I'm out in bum-fuck nowhere. I use it for my home internet since we don't get cable or DSL. My only other option would be dial-up or satellite, but of which are terrible. My LTE broadband is faster than comcast ever was at my old house. The only downside is they cap you at 10GB for $80/month, and it costs $10/GB over.

Is your whole phone bill 80 or is it 80 just for the internet on phone?

These are the speedtest for a GS2 LTE running on Rogers, nowhere near the 100mb/s you claim

OP don't know what he's talkin' aboot. 😉

 

[westernmetaphor]

it clearly says "up to 100 mb/s"

i don't have to explain anything

only in a controlled closed environment with no other radio interference

it's like the CD drives of the 1990's. 52x means you hit that number 1/10000 tests under a gimped OS that only does CD drive testing and only while reading the right part of the disk
