Not 4G but 4G speeds?
1 Attachment(s)
Earlier I had these results from my iPhone on VM's 3G service....I'm not complaining but what's 17MB all about?

Re: Not 4G but 4G speeds?
That would be the 3.5G speeds from using HSDPA+
It's still no where near 4G speeds though. |
Re: Not 4G but 4G speeds?
That's fair enough but at 17mb I'm not going to be too worried about VM's delay in offering 4G then.

I can get 20 meg at the play park near where I live. Better than the old days of it being throttled to 3meg

Re: Not 4G but 4G speeds?
Three mobile customers have had these 3.5G/DC-HSDPA speeds for a couple of years now. It's great as they allow unlimited (traffic managed P2P at times) tethering on their One plan too, so you can download tons :)
Will VM be giving all it's customers free upgrades to 4G like Three mobile has been doing? |

The benefits of 4G are mostly nothing to do with download speed, yet that's the only thing most people seem to think about. |

Is there any real benefit of 4G beyond connection/reconnecting speed and good latency? |
Re: Not 4G but 4G speeds?
Well latency and control-plane setup times are a big benefit in themselves, but that's just the RAN layer. It also makes for a flatter, more robust core network architecture, and more capacity, easier rollout, and ultimately much better network performance and coverage for the same cost.
Indirect benefits perhaps, but it results in a much better end user experience than if the operators spent the same amount of money on 3G. |
