I just saw a Verizon sign today that said the same. I internally scoffed because how can cellular internet be more stable or consistent?

Mentioning latency is how I got their 16 trillion subcontractor salespeople to stop knocking on my door. They wanna bash the local cable company with 11ms ping but have no clue how to address my latency concern. They don’t even know what it is — “wait, that wasn’t in the script.”

LoL, they misconfigured their test rig and it turns out they were measuring loopback's bandwidth.
