Part of the improvement is the hardware. The latency improvement is awesome, for example. But part of it seems to legitimately be the optimization that their software is doing re: signal strength, which backhaul to use, auto updates, the level of customer support, and other stuff.
I don't know how it compares, but it seems it may be better than people were initially thinking.
