How do you want to count that Mike? Speed alone isn't adequate. If speed alone made a good purchase we'd all be driving ZR1 corvettes and Rouch Mustangs etc.
Figure in cost per subscriber. Compute what people REALLY do with their internet not just how fast they can do it etc. Wireless is the PERFECT technology for a lot of customers. And don't keep shooting yourself in the foot. FIOS is also no good because you and I won't ever be able to install enough of it to make the kind of living that wireless can give us. If it were for wired solutions only none of us would have the phone services we have now (good landline and cell phone). Many would also not have fast internet connections.
