rofl - Americans are getting smarter.

Remove the 3rd party router and retest directly from WAN to PC? Easy answers here.

I mean… ‘it’s not “there” yet’ is mentioned… take a step back… as a network engineer I see T-Mobile buying up as much RF spectrum as they can (remember- spectrum can be repurposed onto new evolution deployments for easier adaption) and there is plenty of competition in the wireless space to keep this growing/expanding.

Even today - we have 5gUC with people commonly getting 300-500mbit down and 20-40mbit up and 20-35ms latency and it’s pretty darn consistent in some cases.

The limiting factors are RF spectrum and current LTE release, and both are always changing along with density of radio/tower deployments. The more radios, the better aggregation and fault tolerant these solutions will become. Lost packets will be seen less and less due to having multiple bearer connections to multiple towers (that speak to each other about the sessions).

I think this will be a big competitor and I don’t think anyone will see it coming. Cable companies should be planning to upgrade to FTTH and fiber providers may just need to compete by lowering prices.

Just my opinion though, man.
