\"\"<\/a>Huawei today demonstrated the next-generation Long Term Evolution network technology in trials that reached speed of 1.2 Gbps. That’s faster than most wireline networks, but it’s delivered via a cellular network. With such speeds you could download an HD movie in 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

But before you dump your FiOS wireline subscription, be aware that the LTE Advanced network technology<\/a> is years away. When I ask folks at Verizon Wireless or AT&T about LTE Advanced I’m been told that no one is thinking about it today.<\/p>\n

Plus, even with it far off (the standard won’t even be set until 2011), the test speeds bear little relationship to the actual speeds. For proof, check out the LTE demo I saw back in 2008<\/a> showing speeds of 150 Mbps down and the anticipated speeds of 5-12 Mbps down<\/a> that Verizon is telling users to expect on its network. I explain why there’s such a disconnect in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
