LTE: Typical download speeds of 5–12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2–5 Mbps.

wait, 70 of us are going to be on a 5/2 wifi connection? eeek!

also, <3 OCZ

I think it was meant as a supplement

heh, okay.

Now if you got multiple WoW 50Mbps connections that would be pie... and cake

imagine all the HD streams we could have going!

There will be more than one LTE access point, and they will be used as a supplement. With Verizon's support we'll be able to have one or two dedicated networks for all mobile devices, which will alleviate the load quite a bit. Every year, there are more and more mobiles... remember, quite a few people connect their devices to the Wi-fi.

We used around 7GB of LTE data in Vegas. That was fun.

lol, they didn't cap it at 2GB?

I mean 70x7 times 6 days = Verizon on knees

mertesn

Nope. Unlimited, unrestricted LTE plan :)

@Fatcat, Verizon 4G LTE in the D usually benchmarks at 25/6 or higher for me when I am there.

Slower or faster than the Vertex4?

also, I was getting speeds from the link http://www.verizonwireless.com/verizon-wireless-4g-lte-mobile-hotspot-mifi-4510l.shtml

I've seen 40/15 on LTE here.

David Kenkel

Same, evenings usually get around ~45/~16 LTE. It's quite an impressive technology.

Very cool to see Verizon showing up. Those hotspots will be a big help.

Rated speeds are what they expect people will be able to get once the network is complete and the vast majority of phones are on LTE rather than CDMA.

Just like your cable local loop, if you happen to hit a tower with very few customers on it, then the backhaul will be less saturated, giving you much more available bandwidth.

The LTE spec Verizon is using right now (with an upgrade in the future) supports up to 100/100Mbit.

I've noticed that saturation in Ann Arbor has increased heavily. I got 25/5 typically when I first got this phone back in July, now averaging 5/2 typically.

WOW... I'm already giddy with delight and it's still months away!

Got a big box from OCZ today. Lisa wasn't screwing around. This time she sent FIFTEEN Behemoth mousepads. There should be no more fighting over them :D

CB

STILL NOT ENOUGH!

GnomeQueen

STILL NOT ENOUGH!

NEVER ENOUGH

midga

I've heard about the much-coveted mouse pads, and I think it'd be rather swell to get my hands on one, but I just picked up this and it's pretty awesome.

primesuspect

Two new sponsors added today: ADATA and Genius!

Zanthian

I still us my Behemoth everyday at work. Worth it!

primesuspect

ADATA has updated the prizes they're sending. We now have another SSD to give away :)
