The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 28 January, 2011
Netflix has posted a list of the fastest American ISPs today, giving some of the most accurate data for sustained transfers, ever.
Most speed testing sites rely on quick (30 seconds or less) bursts of speed, which can be inaccurate.
Says Ken Florance, director of content delivery at Netflix:
We find ourselves in the unique position of having insight into the performance of hundreds ... [ read the full article ]

You are WRONG and your BS about the CS agent is in your own little head. Also when I talked about MOBILE several times over so you state I qualified it as the USB router you can get to hookup to your PC and ALWAYS refered to phones seperately. Once again you just don't get it and have read into things in the manner you wish.
If you read with your eyes open and brain clear, now that will be a problem, you'll see that I was talking about LAN line connections of 1G to 2G when they quote 12G+ service. You really need to wake up when you read through this and stop jumping to conclusions that are not there.
Again, I've talked to BOTH Sprint and Clearwire directly and both of their stories are the same, hence what I've said is correct. You can think whatever you wish son but at the end of the day I can do what I'm stating I can do. And if you do not want to except that fine that is your problem!

The USB dongles (Not routers) are using the same service as the cell phones; other than a bit of background data by the phone apps and maybe a tiny speed loss from the tethering, it is the same speed. The only difference is that they don't make phone calls. Have you actually done any speed tests on your WiMax phone? Do you really get 700mbps? That would be rather incredible for a slew of reasons.
Who quotes 12G+ service? Sprint? Seems a bit hard to believe...at least at a consumer level. How do you even test such a connection? That is faster than the speed test servers. No, I cannot "except" that sprint is offering 12Gbps wired service to home users. Nor can I "except" that you are getting 700mbps on your phone, yet you want to "upgrade" to something that won't get you 10mbps.
No, I am not going to call sprint and ask them for their 700mbps cell phone...I am not an idiot. Even if they were 4G (and they are not), sprint would only be offering 100mbps.
To tell the truth, it is very hard to follow what you are saying, and I only jump to conclusions that are not there because you didn't provide any reasonable conclusions...you seem to conflict with yourself a lot...maybe if I asked some no-bs questions, I could get a strait answer...
-Does Sprint offer 12Ggbps home internet? If so, where?
-Is it your intention to use the service that sprint sells as 4G for home internet, and how fast do you think it would be?
-How fast is your current mobile internet connection, and how fast is your current landline (wired) internet connection?
-Did sprint tell you that they offer 700mbps MOBILE internet? If so, did they say that you will actually get 700mbps (or any minimum), or did they just say that was the theoretical limit of the technology?
-What exactly is the story that is the same...are they both saying you will get 700mbps mobile? Are they both claiming that they offer 4G (by definition, an LTE connection of at least 100mbps)? Are they the ones who told you that the limit of 3G is just 2mbps?
-When you say "1G" and "2G", are you refering to 1gbps and 2gbps, or to 1G and 2G data plans that are sometimes referred to as "EDGE" networks? Also, do you think that "3G" and "4G" phones get 3gbps and 4gbps respectively?
-Do you know the difference between Kb, Mb, and Gb? It seems like a dumb question, but most of your numbers would be accurate if you switched Gb to Mb and Mb to Kb.
Seriously...do a tiny bit of research rather than just going with whatever a sales rep tells you. If you have ANY internet connection of 700mbps, then it is way beyond consumer grade, and if you think you will get speeds even 10% as fast from any so-called 4G device, then you are either mistaken or insane. You can't even get 70mbps consumer-grade internet in most places. I'm done trying to help you...if you insist on lying to yourself (and everyone else), then you deserve the crummy connection you get.

When I ask some of my friends who are not so tech-savvy about what speed is there internet, they reply its 100 mbps! because it shows up in connection status!! whereas the actual internet plan they have is 1 mbps at best!

You still don't get it you?re not comprehending the difference between LAN line connections (Cable Companies & DSL) so as you stated you?re not and idiot maybe you should reevaluate that statement.
Like I said think what you want it doesn't make you right as you?re not here but I'm not going to continue to keep having this ridicules banter with you as you are obviously not capable of comprehension which is not uncommon.

Please give me a link to the page where sprint (or whoever you use) advertises 12Gbps internet for home users.
