    In fairness, he isn't wrong, what difference does it make jumping from 10mb/s to 30mb/s if you are stuck on a crappy 1 to 5GB cap anyway!

    It just means you hit your cap faster!

    For me the two interesting things about 4G are:
    1) Low latency, much lower then 3G
    2) The lower frequencies sometimes used for 4G which allow signals to penetrate buildings better

    Fair points...and can't disagree:)
    Most investment in 4G anyway is not for the benefit of consumers anyway but to "simplify" the network for easier management
