I have always said the cellular carriers have the over the air interface to deliver good speeds for the most part. It's their backhaul network that needs work and they are slowly and steadily upgrading that. While most are bashing them, they eventually will have upgraded the sites to remain competitive. They are far from perfect but once they finally have true Ethernet transport to every site, their performance will improve a lot over all digital modes they offer. They are and will continue to be a player in the broadband world. Best for WISP's to keep an eye on what they are doing and keep the pace with the overall broadband market changes. Fortunately it seems that the fixed wireless technology has kept the pace and/or exceeded other technologies. The WISP's themselves will need to keep business plans that take advantage of emerging technologies and allow themselves to remain continually competitive. This means factoring in an aggressive upgrade and replacement path which will allow for market adaptability. This will also need to include marketing methodologies to keep their image up and to show that there is not stagnation with the company and its offerings.

I only get that in speedtests and never when I have to upload or download a big file via FTP or whatever. It generally gets throttled to dial up speeds or worse. ~V~ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Wu Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 9:21 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Verizon 4G LTE - WOW - update Sitting in my living room at 8 pm....3 bars, laptop connected to wireless router on phone http://www.speedtest.net/result/1236758959.png -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom DeReggi Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 6:39 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Verizon 4G LTE - WOW Yeah, its nice when a product is brand new, and you get the whole sector all to yourself. I guess, its amazing that you are getting the speed to a handset, without the big antenna outside.
