It has been quite a while since you've posted anything about boats or
boating.

Why not give it a try?

There really is more to life than trying to start (or finish) a food
fight.

4G is faster than 3G.

That's really cool! Have you got 4G on your boat?

We do. It works very well.

See my post on rec.boats.cruising from a few days ago.

You almost got it right.

4G peak speeds are much faster than 3G peak speeds.

But 4G in fringe, "barely get a signal" areas is slower than 3G in good signal areas. Like in Scot's case.

That's all he, and I, have been saying. For a huge segment of the population, 4G isn't an option. Reference the coverage map I linked.

You are far too dense to understand. A dog watching TV.

When 4G is working well, it is very, very fast.

The speed of WiFi varies a great deal however depending on a lot of
different things. With the right equipment, a good connection and a
good back feed to the internet, WiFi can be every bit as fast as 4G.

What is it with these guys? They just seem to spout whatever their local
phone/cable company tells them.

That was the paradox of our vacation in far southwest North Carolina.
If you were down in what passes for civilization (where they have
electricity) cell service was spotty and broadband was unobtanium but
if you were hiking in the mountains, miles from the nearest living
soul, you had 4G.


Sounds like either you were in line of sight of a 4G tower, or maybe
there was a "market" somewhere nearby that got a lone tower...
