I think it reeks of elitism and has no bearing on the discussion. No one here cares what you make or where you live.

Exactly. Let's all keep adding more until a few people in here figure out that this isn't an Android forum, or an AT&T/Verizon store. There are plenty of places we can all go if we want to hear about all the "competing" (and losing) products that other companies make, but that's not why we're here, is it?
You did not post any opinions other than you have a distaste for the general population, and public beaches apparently.
In your sig you refer to your wife as a trophy wife, lol, why would you degrade a human being that way, nobody is a prize or an object.
I could give a crap about the supposed money you possess, your attitude and personality you convey to the internet is ridiculous, guess what, nobody cares.
You post like an internet bragging twelve year old.
Do you end every conversation in real life with how many watches you own, or how many houses you own?
Not seeing those speeds on 4S
I have an iPhone 4S and I'm not getting anywhere near those speeds in Manhattan. I'm in the fashion district.

Why would you expect those speeds on an iPhone 4S?? It's not 4G LTE compatible.
Because you do not have real 4g, you have been duped.
Unless you are talking about is hspa benchmarks.
Are you really trying to act like you care so much about this discussion that you're going to scold the person who started the thread? It's his discussion you ding dong. Litigious for the sake of being litigious much? Sorry OP that everyone in here is a hater. I was originally excited to see what 4G speeds are like for you on your new iPad, but it turns into an insecurity fest really quick around here. My penis doesn't feel small when I find out people have more money than I do, but I'm clearly in the minority on that one. Get a life people.
The person that does not have a life is BJ for creating a post detailing his train ride, and distaste for people like you.
keep on slurping.
Learn to read.
You'll see that I did nothing, said nothing about anything personal until someone else attacked me, made a comment about how I take the train instead of some chauffeured limousine. Defending myself, I point out that my train commute is quite civilized. Then you jump in with your lecturing.
What if the shoe was on the other foot? What if I went into a thread with people talking about saving money and how they can't afford things and started putting them down for their lifestyle? Started telling them that their opinions are invalid and that no one cares what they think? No one needs to hear about their hardships, keep that sort of thing to yourself. That would go over well, right?
Same thing here. There's nothing offensive about what I wrote or what it says in my signature. What is most definitely offensive is your attitude towards someone just because they're different than you, just because they have money. I have feelings too, I shouldn't be discriminated against.
BJ

Really?
If that's true, why are you responding? Poor people and struggling students are allowed to post about saving money and being frugal but I'm not allowed to post about spending money and being frivolous? Quite the double-standard there.

ok, who cares, apparently we are suppose to if you write it?
People on your train are more akin to country club members, than public beach users.
What does that mean?
How is that not an ignorant statement?
Are people on your train better people than what you find on a beach?
Why are beach goers beneath you and your train riding brethren?
Does your wife sign her name with the prefix of Trophy Wife?
----------
Don't make ignorant assumptions of my life, like boldly declaring that I do not have money.
Narcissism, Elitism, an bragging are all character flaws that do not play well on the internet, consider this an education, if you dare to venture onto any other forums, with common folk and beach goers.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Wow, good laugh about all this... OP is right in saying that he didn't attack anyone here. If you're not happy about your circumstances to the point that you attack other people over it then that is YOUR problem my friend, not his. Haters haters haters. Then you try and lay down the law about using the internet and forums. Really? It's the great lord interwebs himself ladies and gentleman. Step right up and have some punk-bitch kid try and tell you what's what. Acting like the internet is an upright place with moral standards and then being the glaring example for why this isn't true at the SAME TIME - this must be on purpose now. Or are you really that stupid?
Huh? Isn't the 4S supposed to support AT&T's faster network?....The same one used by the iPad 3?
That is certainly enough from everyone. This has long ago strayed from the original topic into pointless name calling. If any of the folks responding to ol' bolty here had bothered to look him up you would have found he enjoys stirring the pot and responding to those folks willing to engage him.
He may want you to believe he's a self-centered egotistical dolt lording his conspicuous wealth over the plebs (and perhaps he actually is) but since he's been at this on many forums for 7 or 8 years (that I could find) he probably is just bored and enjoys the lively discourse.
Nothing wrong with purposefully provoking random strangers on the Internet if that's what you enjoy.
Regardless, I personally think this thread has gone as far as it can and perhaps we can all wait until he creates a new rather innocuous thread and interjects his own brand of fiery rhetoric to entertain us all.
Cheers,

Keep slurping
maybe you can be his next trophy
Again more ignorant assumptions that I do not have money.
OP out of no where starts bragging about his financial situation, nobody asked this man/child about it.
I could start a thread that is obviously a vehicle to brag, but I would get flamed for it, just like this man/child is now.
Sigh. The iPhone 4S is the 5th generation iPhone. Why would apple call the 6th gen the iPhone 5? Think more please.
Haha, he is totally Jersey Shore.
No. iPad 3 supports 4G LTE. iPhone 4S supports up to HSPA+ (which ATT calls '4G' when it really isn't), which is nowhere close to 4G LTE speeds.
AT&T didn't have LTE a year ago, and it appears that he wanted to stick with AT&T for the unlimited data.
Well at least AT&T's marketing gimmick is working on someone.
I'm know how you feel man. There are people on macrumors forums who just randomly pops out of nowhere and start attacking people. Then, some random dudes misunderstand the situation and start attacking/lecturing the same person.
Aside from this quarrel, I gotta say the LTE speeds are awesome. Hopefully it will be available worldwide sooner or later.
When the thread starts talking about LTE service and degrades into a brag-fest over where you live, your trophy wife (yeah, real classy), your Rolexes, and beach house, you sound like you are just being a jerk about it.
Glad to hear about the great service though.
