I haven’t heard of femtocells and now wondering why we don’t use these instead of WiFi? In my experience LTE connections are much more reliable than WiFi - rarely having mobile data issues but WiFi won’t work in the next room.
Are femtocells just as crappy as WiFi?
- homero 4y agoThey're slow and use licensed bands

- fomine3 4y agoWhy use femtocell over Wi-Fi? It costs same as normal mobile data usage (maybe it depends). It's generally slower than Wi-Fi because not much bandwidth is assigned for it. No LAN connectivity. Its routing isn't optimal for just internet access because it routes home-ISP-internet-mobileISP-internet, instead of home-ISP-internet.
