or 100 people to do a normal sized file, which is probably the likely use case.

"Woo!"
"Here's a 2GB Data Cap!"

My current 4G:

Can't wait for 5G. :)

On topic, I sincerely hope this does improve wireless speeds. I find myself using data a lot more often than I would have thought.

Uptime, lag/ping, probably some data transfer stuff I don't adequately understand.
