Mobile broadband as provided by AT&T and Verizon Wireless might be fast enough to suite the needs of some users, an analysis by RootMetrics suggests. Tests show typical downstream speeds between 13 Mbps and 14 Mbps, with upstream speeds in the 6 Mbps to 7.4 Mbps range, fast enough for lighter users to consider using mobile broadband as their only connection, Rootmetrics says.
The current usage caps will make mobile broadband supplied by LTE a likely poor choice as an exclusive access method for many multi-user households, or households watching lots of video, though.
