[GRLUG] 4g "ymax"

[Clay Ashby]

I'm no expert on the subject, but i know a few people with 4g phones, and
they say the coverage is pretty sparse. But 4g is new, so it will get better
over time.  From what I've heard other companies (like this one) rent the
service from Sprint, so basically it's a Sprint 4g connection.

Your latency on 3g is pretty bad, around 200, so don't plan on playing many
shooters, 4g is probably similar, but like i said, i'm no expert.
