“Technical trials are staged [and] tiered in accordance with industry standards. They’re [now] completed” said David Clevenger, executive director of public affairs.
The trials were being held in Boston and Seattle. Users were able to achieve download speeds of 5-12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2-5 mbps. In comparison, 3G technology is only able to achieve 1.5 Mpbs down and .5 Mbps up.
