Did you not read the article...those ARE real world... They sent a guy in a REAL car a REAL kilometer away. Does it really get much more real than that?
Yeah I read the article... but if you think you are going to get 173 Mbps you are kidding yourself. Fios isn't even offering those speeds over fiber. Those are "best conditions," which means no overloaded towers, no buildings in the way, perfect weather, etc etc... I want to know what the average speeds we can expect in 5 years when these networks start getting deployed and there is a full load of network traffic. Will 20/5 be possible from my basement or on the way to work?

Those 100-plus meg speeds were only a few hundred meters from the base station. Not a kilometer.
