According to OpenSignal's latest State of LTE report, the average 4G download speed in the United States was 16.31 Mbps in Q4 2017. That's little more than a third of the speed that mobile device users in Singapore enjoy and ranks the U.S. at a disappointing 62nd place in the global ranking.

    As has been explained to you countless times, there are FOUR mobile carriers. Can you count to four, you rotting turd?

    There's no competition among telecom companies, in your deluded fucking mind. One wonders why anyone ever bothers to communicate with you on any topic ever.

    And they all belong to the same group of stockholders. The deluded mind belongs not to the Parent poster but to the Coward posting anonymously. That would be you.

      Please tell me you are one of those stockholders who owns stock in every telecom. Tell me how you make bank off all the poor little peons paying their wireless bills no matter which carrier they choose while you sit back and watch your investment portfolio swell up and make you rich.

      You're so enamored with money that the technical reasons reasons which motivate subscribers to switch carriers have no meaning to you. You're so enamored with money that the ways in which the carriers compete with each other are completely meaningless to you. You're so enamored with money that the technicals of technology don't matter to you at all. Only the money matters.

      Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! It's what's important. Always.

      Please tell me you head is buried so deep in a giant pile of money bin that you will never be able to look around and see the real world in your lifetime.

        I think "series of contracts" guy has finally lost it after enough people rejected his crap, now he's on to just ranting angrily. I mean this rant here, just free market apologetics or actual shill. Not quite the right tone for just a simple troll.

    And you should consider getting a crane to help haul you out of that armchair and go to the library. There you can find books on economics that will explain why 4 companies isn't really a lot of competition, especially in the presence of regulatory capture.

    While you're there, do have a look at some books on manners, etiquette and persuasive speaking.

      You know, when the nerds were running the tech scene, we didn't afford any respect whatsoever to smarmy double-talking manipulative persuasive suave assholes who derail discussions when their precious manners are not followed to the letter.

      Then fake nerd posers like you invaded the tech scene and forced out real nerds with your deceitful appeals to proper etiquette.

      In the words of Randall Munroe,

      FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
