PCMag did the math, you can use up the 5GB alotment in 32 minutes with LTE. Seems like as the speeds get faster the cap should get larger, doesn't it?airtime is still the same price for the carrier...
Ah, but you're making my argument! I agree airtime * spectrum is the limited quanity for the provider, and so should influence the cap and pricing. As far as I can tell, LTE can drive 8-10x the data in the same spectrum over the same time period, as compared to HSDPA. If you're really buying "spectrum-minutes" then you should be getting more data with LTE for the same price. Of course, I can't think of another industry where the service provider complains when you use too much. They just bill you more for using more, they don't cut off their own customer who uses the service a lot! -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
