When 4G Beats WiFi
193 words.
So here at the house we switched from FIOS Triple Play back to plain old Comcast Internet, not because there was anything wrong with FIOS – in fact, in my opinion, it’s a thousand times better than Comcast in every possible way – but because of an overall strategy to lower household expenses.
So now we only have two choices for TV: Over-the-air HD television using vintage rabbit ears, or Netflix on a PS3. (Guess which one I usually pick.) And we don’t have a land line anymore. None of that is the slightest bit of concern to me, in fact I’ve wanted to “cut the cord” for a long time.
Here’s the point of all this: I only have 1Mbit downstream Internet now. That is the cheapest “broadband” available from Comcast (and it still costs 3 times as much as dial-up, but that’s another rant). So I went to watch a YouTube video on my phone this morning over WiFi, and it was all stuttering and crap. So I turned off WiFi and switched to 4G, and it played smooth as butter. Heh. I don’t know, I just thought that was funny.
