VZW in the forest!

[CA3LE]

I'm visiting a friend in the mountains in Cotopaxi Colorado... litterally middle of nowhere staying in a camper. No reception... but I found a little patch of service, 4G and I've seen up to 15 Mbps. I hopped on my laptop and downloaded a couple GB of HD content and sustained 2 MB/s for the entire transfer. Amazes me. This result was pretty average.

Better one from earlier... about 30 feet higher up the cliff.

 

 

The mountain I'm on right now (but the picture was taken during the daytime)


super remote location... Verizon is awesome. Now if they would just unlock the caps or charge a reasonable rate for overages.

 

Technology these days...  I'm in the middle of the forest, maybe 10 people within 30 miles and I'm getting 5 times faster connection than my first cable internet connection.  Insane to me.
