ThunderBolt 4G speedtest, (i hope vzw iphone 5 is LTE 4G ) VZW 4G is FAST!

sick, 19mb down on a phone, that's crazy, can't wait for the iPhone to eventually get it in 2019 :)
 
that's awesome! I'd like to see the test with a few thousands of phones on the network, i'd be worth it if you could pull down 7 or 8 megs, average then..

I might go buy the thunderbolt just to get grandfathered in unlimited 4G for $29.99

First off, there is not going to be a 4g iPhone this year. That won't come around until the summer of 2012.

Second, if you buy a Thunderbolt with the unlimited data, that is only good for that phone and that contract. It won't carry over for a 4g iPhone unless they are offering the same unlimited plan for that when you purchase it.
 
Yea but this phone trumps the iphone in every single area. It does voice and data which everyone on here says Verizon can't do, it pulls down ridiculous speeds. It has more memory and its open source. I'm done with jobs and all his crap and I own 2 iphones, but they will be my last. This phone is the real deal.

Man I can't even get thy on adsl here!

O2 uk 3G seems to get about 5mb down which is nice enough for a phone but I can see the benefits of a 4G dongle... Would even give up my adsl access for them speeds!
 
Let's see some real-world usage tests instead of number-crunching, eh?
 
Good for You!

I'm glad you found something you like. Buy yourself a Thunderbolt and enjoy it.

I think it's awesome you work at such a high up, senior executive level for both Verizon and Apple. That, and you choose to grace Macrumors with your intricate knowledge of the future product plans of Apple and the future policy plans of Verizon. We're lucky to have such concrete knowledge around.

Really curious, what exactly can you take advantage of on the phone with a 20 mbps downlink?

No load time for HQ video? Video chat? Facetime? File download on the go?

Are you kidding me? it's like dial-up users ask what's the deal of high-speed internet.

Dial-up? That would be true if I was using a 2G phone at 384kbps and asking what's the point in 3G. I'm asking whats the major advantage for on-device use of 7mbps vs 20mbps

I use a few phones that have a 7.2 mbps downlink and have no issue with HQ video, facetime, etc.. And who's to say the next iPhone won't get HSPA+ at 21mbps?

Seriously, besides tethering, it doesn't seem like there's a real advantage to having some crazy downlink speed for on-device use.

I feel like everyone says that about ANY new phone lately. It's kind of amusing.

"All his crap;" you would think he's harassing you or something. It will only be the "real deal" until the next phone iteration comes out :rolleyes:
