The tier uplift isn't related to the WiFi service.

I must ask some questions about this tier uplift. I understood it would come with 'conditions'.
I think VM support wish one of the conditions would be for all customers to sign the following waiver:

"I hereby understand that although headline speeds will be increased, it is not possible for a 2.4ghz, 802.11n 1x1 stream wifi card on a mobile device to receive 300mbps, ever"

It's bad enough to see people complaining all the time that they can't get 152mbps on hardware that is never going to be capable, I hate to see it when people on even some higher end equipment moan when a 300mbps link speed doesn't get that in reality.

Of course, for the Wi-Fi service itself, I imagine it'll be capped at a level not exceeding 30mbps, probably.
