I guess it would depend, I do understand that they could build a 4G tower near everyone that serves well and has no datacaps...but what happens when people clog up the tower? Wireless has a lot of problems landlines (generally) don't have. I guess OTA would be fine, if the telecom could prove that it could handle over a certain amount of traffic without throttling (this is generally why throttling exists.)
- isostatic 7y agoWhat happens when your 1G FTTP is plugged into a 48 port switch with a 10G uplink and you're throttled to 200M?
- nrp 7y agoThe same thing that happens when wired ISPs oversubscribe their infrastructure. Users get less than than theoretical maximum speed. Wireless infrastructure doesn’t inherently have this problem and wired infrastructure doesn’t inherently solve it. The bigger problem with wireless internet access is probably geographical constraints where neighboring sites can have drastically different quality depending on what is between them and the closest tower.
