got one of these, im only hitting 2-mbs ps after that my laptop crashs and dies cause it just cant handle it... i dont think the 21 mark is really made for the consumer market yet i know they can reach it but im yet to get past 19 without a mayjor crash and a complete network drop out

Hopefully when the Government finnished the Fibre Optic Network then the Towers will have more Bandwidth avaible so we can get more closer to 21Mbits in typical speeds =)

FAKEEEEE.. see the typical speeds: 550-8mbps, i could be 1metere away from the tower with a proper backhaul and itd still be like 7mbps. RUBBBISSSH. only BENEFIT FROM THIS, AT ALL. is the 64QAM reduction in latency. 110ms will become about 60 when this is in play.
