It is almost universally faster than free WiFi (i.e. at a coffee shop), which is what the post said.
I have unlimited data and a ROM that lets me tether, and it really is amazing how useful LTE everywhere is. There's no way this isn't the future of internet connectivity in general. (Unless everyone using it would somehow saturate the available spectrum?)
- EwanToo 14y agoA big part of how much faster LTE is than HSPA+ (which the Nexus 4 ships with), is the fact that most LTE networks are massively under-utilised. HSPA+ can run at 42Mbps in theory, but network congestion makes that a pretty much impossible situation in reality. As more people join the LTE networks, they will get slower and slower, just as 3G has in crowded areas.
- shinratdr 14y agoHence why I couldn't be happier that Google is continuing to limit the Nexus line to 3G. That's the price of keeping costs low.
