I recently got MTS's 4G data plan, Novatel MC996D HSPA+ USB modem, and MoFi Mobile router. I live in south central Winnipeg. The fastest speed I get is 2.5 Mbps (WiFi to 3 different computers, LAN off the router, or USB modem direct on my laptop). I was expecting faster but I must say it is a lot better than 1 Mbps with Rogers on my iPad.

I would appreciate input from 4G subscribers.

PS: Thanks for letting me join this forum.

Think maybe this forum was not what I needed to help me OR maybe there are no MTS 4G users. What I found out from a another forum is that a MTS 4G user who is located a few km north of Winnipeg gets 8 Mbps down load peak and 4 Mbps average. Today I went on a trip 30 km east of Winnipeg and tried out down load speed test 8 times on the way. Got 2.5 Mbps max and low of .25 Mbps. A couple of times it stalled when I tried to down load my e-mail. So far I feel that I made a big mistake getting MTS 4G service.
