Tech reporting is always shoddy.

What’s happening is timing is getting better, receivers and transmitters are being made with faster rise times. Power levels are being managed better. Faster chips, faster processing, makes faster signals.

The trade-off is usually range. But stuff like this is why AT&T and others don’t want to lay down any more fiber. They’re confident in ten years wireless will be able to meet consumer expectations for service and make wired connections obsolete.

It’s a shame. Wired connections have a resilliant quality that wireless can never quite match.
