Maybe I am using my phone wrong, but probably the largest bandwidth usage on my phone is watching 1080p youtube, which is.... probably no more than 20mbit/s? Spotify occasionally takes more than 2 seconds to load a podcast, and sending emails with 10mb attachments can take upwards of 3 seconds. I don't personally see the utility in having a 100mbit connection on my phone. Wifi is pretty ubiquitous if I need it for my laptop at faster speeds than that, generally wifi is available either for free, or for a few bucks (on an airplane).

- gompertz 4y agoSeriously curious what sort of IoT project needs 100mbit. How much sensor data can one be pumping out? I'd be more interested in latency.
- gtvwill 4y agoEh it used to be very cost competitive to slap up LTE mobile devices in remote areas for internet. Now we have starlink and 5G has reduced range/doesn't handle trees and valleys as well as 4g/3g it's not so much the case. I got like 3x of these 4G lte modems sitting about doing naught since starlink activated here.
- simplotek 4y ago> I don't personally see the utility in having a 100mbit connection on my phone. Oh I do. I can grab my laptop, sit anywhere, grab my phone and setup a hotspot, and work away without any concern. If 5G coverage was better, I would drop my gigabit internet provider right now.
