umm Pete stop talking out of the side of your head dude. AT&T techs are already getting 10-12Mbps on their laptop testing in my neighborhood currently. yes, we will have 20Mbps by 2010 - that is not a debate - at least not on AT&T's network it isn't.
"Testing" is all fine and dandy, and makes for great pissing contests, but hows that network going to perform when you have tons of pit faced teenagers video calling each other and a bunch of joe techies downloading 3 high def movies to their laptops. The real world is nothing like the lab buddy. I'll believe 20 Mbps when I see it.
lol... you guys are pretty good. i welcome faster speeds, i just also happen to be a realist. i'm not going to blindly believe some marketing bullshit that at&t or verizon puts out. furthermore, bandwidth hasn't exactly been following moore's law ... and even if it did: 1.7 Mbps x 2 = 3.4 Mbps in 2009, 3.4 Mbps x 2 = 6.8 Mbps in 2010. Still nowhere close to the 20 Mbps at&t promises (claims).

Pete, instead of bitching, you should celebrate the fact that the air interface will be increased to handle congestion better.
