Developer Claims Three Major Carriers Throttle iPhone and iPad Data Speeds

[WissMAN]

So I just read where this is not true...well, which is it??

And what speed did they advertise to you? I'm just trying to figure out what we're talking about here because I get the speeds AT&T told me I'd get on their website.

They said with LTE you can get "up to 100Mbps". I understand that it's not practical, yet, to really see 100Mbps in real life, but that doesn't making their action valid of setting a hard cap limit of 5Mbps. Since they are doing so, they should advertise clearly after saying "you could get up to 100Mbps, but we are setting the cap at 5Mbps for now since our network is not advanced enough".

If this true LTE must reach really high speeds because i get 56mbps where i am.

They said with LTE you can get "up to 100Mbps".

I'm unable to find that claim on their site anywhere. Was that something said at the launch that they've stopping saying?

I can only find pages that say "10 times faster than 3G." I used to get about 3 Mbps on 3G and I get about 30 - 35 on LTE, so for me what they say and what I get matches.

One test was done while sitting on the beach last week. The other one that I posted was while on my friend's wifi network at his house in the middle of nowhere. As I live >45 minutes away from either of those places, I'm not too worried about it. Thanks for the concern though.

Glad I could be there for you buddy!

When you by a Porsche, it will go as fast as it mechanically can, no artifical limits, a BMW or Mercedes is electronically limited, that's why I never bought one.

Hah. It's easy enough to disable the speed limiter, not a big deal to me. Besides, it's damn near impossible to hit even 155 in the US

I'd love to get myself something like a GT3... But no way I can afford that, I'll stick with my m3
