Default An update . . . Re Verizon data speed
I had just sent my previous post from my iPad at the Lake Miona Rec centre and noticed a smartphone user nearby, so I asked him what speed he was getting.

He was using a Motorola Android smartphone with the Verizon 4G network, which he said is pretty prevalent in TV. I asked him if he would show me the speed he was getting on Speedtest.net, and he ran it and showed a speed of over 13 MEGAbits download and over 8 MEGAbits upload, faster than I can get on my extra high speed DSL link with CenturyLink at home in Sunset Pointe.

All I can say is WOW!!!

i will have to rethink Apple vs Android (as the iPhone is not yet 4G) as well as Sprint vs Verizon.
