LTE-A will never be on par with fibre

Well WBS is boasting of fibre speeds over LTE-A so..there's that.
 
Bah! Nothing beats fibre!

I can't wait till they install fibre in TableView in 2036.

Erm, wait a sec....
 
Fibre transmits data over light whereas wireless is transmitted over radio: the latency will always be higher.

Even if practically the experienced latency of LTE is always higher than Fibre, the physics described there seems a bit :confused:.
 
Fact is I have sub 1ms latency to Google dns. Can you do that over lte?
 
Wireless will never be on par with broadband. There, fify.
 
LTE and LTE-A is the next best thing if the network control it right and if icasa give the spectrum. If you don't have Fibre coverage then this is a real alternative for fast broadband.

LTE and LTE-A kicks ADSL and VDSL to the ground....
 
Until p-cell materialises and shocks everyone.

Webpass. The search giant wants a little extra help in expanding the reach of Google Fiber, its own ultra-high-speed Internet service. But there’s a little-noticed detail in this merger that could be more significant than the purchase of any single ISP. Google is now getting a firsthand look at a new wireless technology that aims to radically change the way the Internet is delivered.

That’s because Webpass is helping to test something called pCell, a wireless antenna developed by serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Perlman and his latest company, Artemis Networks. Perlman’s pCell works by serving up a kind of cell-signal bubble that follows you around, an approach Perlman believes could dramatically improve cellular network speeds.
