Sorry for laughing guys but not even 7 MB/sec on 4G?!?! I dont even have that low download speed on my 3G mobile broadband.. Here in Sweden we easily surf with 60+MB/sec download speed on our 4G network.. This makes me laugh even harder than when S. Jobs proudly introduced video calls for iPhone 4 (which we got in Sweden over 8 years ago..).

America is light years behind in the mobile network sector.. No offence, I just find it really funny that America is so terribly far behind..

@jofus21187 I don't think you guys care more than I do.. As long as it's working to your satisfaction then there ain't really much to say is it? :P

Didn't mean to offend you (or anyone else) and I apologise if I did!

@PainReaperSwe What is funny to me is you must think we care. Internet speeds here are fine with me.

Meh, those USB internet thingys are useless with limited data DL...

I mean srsly, 5gb hits it's limit fast..

In Estonia we have those thing with unlimited contracts and the speed is preety much okey, depending on how much are you willing to pay for it per month.
