So my house's dsl connection looks something like this:

But I was recently informed that they just enabled 4G in my area..... so i switched my phone from 3G only to 4G mode..... THEN I preceded to tether my desktop to it:

Double latency, but omg the speed!!!

hows the jitter? (are you getting consistent latency or is it spiking?)

**rush2049** · 04-10-12, 08:43 AM

Consistantly the same... just double what the hard line is.....

though I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have unlimited data.... I am over 8GB in 3 days.....

I had no idea 4G was that bad ass.

Wahhh?!?!?!?!?! An actually unliminted plan where they don't throttle you after 3GB to force you to go for the tiered plan?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yeah I thought both AT&T and Verizon throttled at a certain point. Could be not busy on that local tower so they didn't have to.

I have 4g on my phone and its pretty past

Officially this is what verizon does:

If you are in the top 5% of data users, AND you are connected to a congested cell tower:
then you will experience reduced speeds.....
