Nothing as long as the "limited data" bullshit is around.
LTE/4G is already more than fast enough for pretty much everything; the main blocker has always been limited data.
- snazz 8y agoAnd then the companies that promise “unlimited” data oftetimes thottle your connection when you exceed a very small data usage (2GB or so on some apparently cheap plans). As soon as real unlimited data becomes available for a much more reasonable price, I’d consider getting rid of cable Internet and being more reliant on cellular data.
- Rjevski 8y agoCarriers should be selling bandwidth allocations, not "data". Cheap plans can only use a small % of total available bandwidth on a particular tower, while more expensive plans can get a bigger slice. Finally they should offer a ridiculously expensive plan that gives you the entire tower's bandwidth in the rare cases you need it (priced at the tower's cost for the carrier, since you're essentially buying out the entire tower for yourself). I don't expect anyone to use this full-time, but there were a few times when I needed tons of mobile bandwidth and wouldn't mind paying thousands for it.
