marco: David Barnard posted the left screenshot, saying, “This is why I haven’t complained about AT&T in a while.” The right screenshot is why I’m still going to complain, why I’ve never cared about iPhone tethering, why I’d rather pair my iPad with a Verizon MiFi, and why I’ve always been happy with the Verizon stick-modem that the MiFi will replace for my laptop. To David: When AT&T pulls all of its extra infrastructure in Austin (placed there for SXSW) you can start complaining again. To Marco: Agreed, even 250mi away from NYC in Syracuse NY, it isn’t much better. The best I could get was 1.96Mbps ↓ / 0.09 Mbps ↑ / 1924 ms latency.
