There is a vast difference between how carriers interpret and implement 4G at the current time, ranging from HSPA to WiMax to LTE, each has difference performance characteristics. The standard requires peak data rates from 100 Mbit/s for high mobility to 1Gbit/s for low mobility.

static code analysis (early-adopter)

Someone who likes to have the latest and greatest things. They upgrade because something is newer, bigger, faster, has better numbers, etc. Sometimes they're right, but frequently the benefit of the new numbers is not measurable.

static code analysis (pattern-based analysis)
