So now that there are cheap unlimited high speed data phone plans is there really any point to having home internet anymore?
>>>/b/
You laugh you lose threads belong in /b/
Depends on speeds and how much mobile hotspot data you get. But in theory yeah, unlimited lte plans make home internet obsolete especially for those living by themselves.

High speed is not the same as low latency.
Wireless data will always be second rank to wired in terms of latency. Depending on use this may be a limiting factor
I think so yeah but carriers need to give unlimited hotspot data to customers before they ditch their home internet completely.

It depends on what the network is like, LTE connections can have significantly low latency like pic related even with low signal. I usually get 30-40ms for latency which would be good enough for online FPS vydias.

There's a reason people don't like at&t and verizon. I'm only paying $55/month for the data I use. I also get 8GB of mobile hotspot included for free.
If you have sn android use psiphon

Using a VPN is problematic because services like netflix will block you access to their content.

People don't like it because it's expensive compared to others.
I had T-Mobile and recently switched to at&t. It's a little more but I see the difference in coverage.
With T-Mobile, it was spotty and when I would go out, let says to the rodeo, Renaissance festival, or basically when I'm going city to city, I lose connection for a couple minutes.
With at&t, I haven't lost connection at all......yet.

Does LTE have any issues with packet loss?

Where?

Are you sure?

boost mobile/metropcs are the first that come to mind

Unlikely as long as you have signal. I've downloaded 1GB+ files (not torrents) on my phone through lte and they turned out okay.

The only in America actually.

Yeah but the tradeoff is that you live in Romania

Those are TCP though. You could be having packet loss and not even notice it.

Don't all connections have some chance of packet loss though? I've downloaded large files through my phones as well and the files/archives open just fine so whatever the chance is, it's low enough to not really care about.
