The big cell phone companies will give alternatives to cable companies. Especially with Verizon going with LTE/4G in the coming years, this bid is great for the consumers. I dumped Comcast and just use a Verizon Wireless aircard (Rev A). Now I have broadband where ever I go for the same price. In a few years by upgrading to a 4G aircard we will enjoy download speeds of 75+ MB/s and upload speeds of 25+ MB/s - faster then cable broadband. “we’re stuck with old stuffy companies who will charge us ungodly amounts to use the bandwidth”

I'm pretty disappointed in Google for not stepping up to the plate. They had what seemed like a really people-centric plan, and instead, we're stuck with old stuffy companies who will charge us ungodly amounts to use the bandwidth. WHat happened Google?
