what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here and I want to give you a speed test of Ryan's Just Lunch 4G network I've got one of their to launch advices here this is their pantech 4G USB modem let's go ahead and see if 4G lives up to the speed pipe so you've got a big gorilla style with the camera angle here the VZ access manager software that the to launching 4G modems need to run as currently Windows only so we've boot camps on the iMac into Windows 7 so I want to give you first a speed comparison so you can see what a home network looks like versus the 4G network my home network is relatively fast off the fastest in the world but it's pretty decent Oh will you speed test on that here to check the home network speed just as a basis for comparison I've been in Southern California so we will use the Los Angeles server let's go ahead and get started a Verizon is claiming 4G real-world download speeds of about five to eight megabits per second and upload speeds of about one to three so my home network is uh hauling along pretty fast here it's actually a much quicker test and I usually get generally I'm about 15 or so megabits per second I got twenty two point one two down and on the up it's relatively quick here hovering just about eight or nine megabits per second down and I'll leave this window up so you can come back and compare alright so this is my home Wi-Fi network pretty quick nothing that's going to sort of set any records but again it does get the job done so on my home network here if I want to download an mp3 it's gonna take me two seconds of five mega megabytes if I want to download the video clip but 35 megabytes it's going to take 13 seconds and the 800 megabyte movie is going to take me five minutes so I've got the USB modem right here I've got a USB extension cable right here it's go ahead and plug it in this is the pantech so it sort of swivels a little bit this USB part comes out and I want to connect this in real times you can see how well this actually takes go ahead and plug it in will see some LED lights light up there let me know it's connected takes a minute or two to power on the device I'm go ahead and pull the modem down I'm going to close this I'm going to launch the VZ access manager software you can see it loading right here and it's telling you know it's connecting and that it's initializing right now still takes about let's say about 30 seconds from initial plug-in to actually being able to connect to the device so there it is I've got my 4G LTE network connected a guy hovered between one two bars of 4G so I'll go ahead and actually keep myself connected so I've got now one bar 4G you can see the easy access is connected there are some other networks here that's poignant via Wi-Fi but I do have one bar of 4G so let's go ahead and run the speed test again using the 4G modem let's go ahead and at start of the test will use the same la server let's see what the speeds are on the 4G modem so we're getting very quick speeds here 16 megabits per second down which is faster than most home networks and looks like we're going to be getting a tour so megabits up I mean so really lightning fast beads and these speeds are actually pretty reflective of other tests that I've done when I took this outside and I used a laptop I was generally getting between 12 and 15 or so megabits per second down the upload speed here is extremely fast and that may be due just to lack of network traffic currently on the 4G network there aren't that many people on it so again for service and speed comparisons here I'm go download a mp3 a 5 mega bit megabytes in 3 seconds 35 megabyte video clip in 18 seconds and an 800 megabyte movie in 7 minutes my home network here is a little bit faster not by much in fact the upload is actually faster than my home network so what does this mean for you well if you are an avid Internet user you are going to be getting some crazy fast speeds if you get 4G servus I expect needs to slow down a little bit as the network becomes more mature and more people start coming on it so let's go ahead and go to youtube and see how this looks in a real world environment so I've got my Mac versus PC video of your plane's let's go ahead and go to that page let's kick it up to 720p she does any trouble with the buffer there there we go 720p no problem at all the buffers moving right along go ahead and hit it play nice and smooth if I fullscreen it there is no problem at all I can jump around almost the end of the video which is now just about fully buffered and now it is all done I can play it and it plays very very smoothly without any issues whatsoever really nice and again you can see that I am indeed connected it tells me what my data usage was to the 4G network and I now have two bars of 4G right here so I really noticed no difference in speed to my home network and the 4G so if you're looking for something to it's a game with on the go if you can live within the cap for data just currently going to be fifty dollars for five gigs or $80 for 10 and then $10 per overage for each gigabyte you're gonna be getting fantastic network speeds here this thing really just hauls anyway guys I am John R Ettinger from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you in the next video bye-bye
