    A Verizon rep told me the other day that their cellular home internet is just as good as my symmetric gigabit fiber service. Fuck these companies.

      I just saw a Verizon sign today that said the same. I internally scoffed because how can cellular internet be more stable or consistent?

            LoL, they misconfigured their test rig and it turns out they were measuring loopback’s bandwidth.

            Mentioning latency is how I got their 16 trillion subcontractor salespeople to stop knocking on my door. They wanna bash the local cable company with 11ms ping but have no clue how to address my latency concern. They don’t even know what it is — “wait, that wasn’t in the script.”

      in a certain stupidly narrow definition of “just as good” that’s not necessarily wrong wrong

      5G has a theoretical max of 10gb/s, so ignoring all other factors where it’s significantly, and also ignoring reality in the face of theoretical maximum

      5G is stupid cool!

      just some people can be stupid stupid
