#2To convert to more normal units, that is about 189 Mbits/second. Which sounds a little less impressive considering the peak 4G speed is supposed to be 100 Mbit/second.

#3So light on details.. could have mistaken it for a press release. And more amazing, they managed to get some of that wrong. In their graphic, they mislabeled the mobile command post as H, and G in the key... and "AT&T’s network is about 80% iPhones" then link to an article about _smartphone_ sales in _Q4 of 2012_

#4I have an unlimited ipad data plan on AT&T, and for 1 month straight, I streamed video constantly just to test if they throttled or capped Unlimited Ipad plans. 128GB in 1 month and I was still getting 50+down/15up.

#6This is pretty surprising that AT&T engineers were the ones to design the antennas.
It is usually vendors such as Nokia-Siemens, Alcaltel-Lucent or Ericsson that provide the equipment and that have the antenna/radio know-how while on the operator side the engineers there focus more on optimization and RF planning, rather then the design.

Leeching 128GB would only take 6 hours at the speeds you describe. I would certainly hope that they don't cap you after a period that could be as short as 6 hours!

Well, I'm actually outside of the LTE area, so I ran my test on 4G HSPA+.
The image for the speed test was to see if they throttled at the end of the month.
Just to be clear...don't try this on a supposedly Unlimited iphone data plan, or straight talk unlimited...doesn't work lol.

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the math. You claim 128GB over a 50Mb connection. That's less than six hours of constant streaming. Unless you want to qualify it with "during the times AT&T actually provided reliable service," your numbers seem off. A lot.

Maybe I wasn't clear (sorry). At the end of my testing after using 128GB (end of the month), I did the speed test to check if I was throttled.
And just because my ipad was capable of that high DL speed, my hosting server that I was constantly streaming HD movies from, isn't capable of that upload throughput (50Mbps uploading).
