I can’t imagine why, if you took the same holier-than-thou tone over there. You threaten them with the ban hammer too? Life might be easier if you spent some time rethinking how you present yourself.

Given how WiFi and cellular speeds vary considerably in my house, which is a lot smaller than an airport terminal and probably constructed with materials that involve a lot less attenuation of radio signals, I’d like to see more about their methodologies. Are there enough sample points measured? Are they comparing…
The points I raised are not “very minor points.” They are fundamental the the actual telecom business—selling RF limited capacity, investing in infrastructure, and still making money. At this point, I’m not sure what you are calling “the idea,” but nothing you’ve said so far—in my mind—has any merit. It is either…
Jesus effing christ. More stuff I’ve already answered or should be obvious to anyone who has looked at RF or business. But here we go.
I get frustrated when dealing with stupidity. It took me several tries to make you understand that “unlimited” isn’t really unlimited and that if you really wanted it, you could sign up for a business “unlimited” plan—all to make you understand that what you really wanted was an uncapped, unlimited plan at the same…
Oh fuck off—you’ve been doing nothing but acting all superior, moralistic and faux offended, so you have no place to bitch about acting like a dick. From what I can tell, you are a computer network/IT flunky. You are also an arrogant little shit who doesn’t understand when he is out of his depth. Your implication…
Airtime fairness? Like that little softswitch on your home router? Oh good lord. Once again you are proving you don’t know about radio networks. Not everyone has an “equal” connection to the cell because of Rayleigh fading, antenna coverage, multipath, priority, terrain, clutter, interference, and a hundred other…
How old are you? Seriously, your response to me calling you out on stupid statements you are making is to threaten a banhammer? How cute. I haven’t seen a banhammer on LH in probably a decade.
First, the original post was about mobile, as was the comment—which asked what people were doing “to even be hitting 200 GB/mo on their mobile plans.” The reference to home use was saying that he couldn’t even get to those numbers in that context, so the debate strikes me as sort of besides the point. That said, my…
Look, you’re the one styling yourself as an expert—”I do telecom for a living” and “I’m ahead of the curve”—so you shouldn’t be too offended when people call you out for spouting bullshit. If you can’t take it, get off the Internet. And color me unimpressed by your credentials—anyone who built a home network can…
Look dude, you apparently don’t know shit about networks, but seem to think you are some kind of messiah about the future. Saying you are “ahead of the curve” is laughable. Learn something if you want people to take you seriously.
For someone who purports to “do telecom for a living,” you don’t seem to really know that much about it. AT&T didn’t buy AIO, AIO was a house brand that pre-dated the Cricket acquisition. AT&T bought Cricket and merged it into AIO and kept the Cricket brand. Not the other way around.
Since there is no difference between “business grade” and “consumer grade” when it comes to US wireless, you are saying you want a business service (i.e., unlimited data—if this mythical unlimited business plan even exists) at a consumer rate.
That all being said, I don’t think the availability of home fiber will change the statistics—I think the highest tier users are those that are using it as a substitute for home service. Fuck, I have WiFi at home and at work, and it is a rare month where my capacity exceeds 300 MB (that said, I don’t tether and…
Well, I did start my statement with “I can’t find more recent stats, but a 2012 study...” I was aiming at finding something of more recent vintage, but my google-fu was suffering and I got bored with it. I’m sure there are differences now given the changes in use, but the reality with every network—wired or…
So if you think business can so easily get unlimited, and pricing isn’t your concern, buy a fucking business plan. I think I said that before. Why isn’t that a solution?
Caps/soft caps are usually technology-specific. So Verizon probably won’t limit data use on 5G networks (at least not in the beginning when they are trying to get people to buy phones that use 5G, which will reduce congestion on legacy 4G and 3G networks). Just like they didn’t limit LTE use when it first came out,…
I think the whole gray thing is an algorithm, not an active interference by a mod.
What’s the principle you are going after? You want business grade,(*) but at consumer prices. That’s asinine. They pay more, they get more. There is no inequality at work, just economics.
