Yeah, LTE capacity can definitely not meet everyone's needs. But in my part of an Australian major city, the only wired option at the moment is NBN over HFC, with a set up fee or a long contract, at a time when all the retailers are trying to undercut each other by buying insufficient capacity.

Under these conditions, LTE is the clear winner. That may change as you point out.

yep. 4g relies on most other people doing little more than messaging, looking at facebook and checking maps to see where the nearest noodle place is.

once everyone is pushing video levels of data around then it will be miserable.

> wired is dedicated.

Cable internet is shared. Most of the NBN rollout (HFC) is on ageing cable internet puchased from another vendor.

> Wireless bandwidth is inherently shared between everyone, wired is dedicated.

False. NBN FTTP connections use GPON which is a shared connection (https://www.nbnco.com.au/utility/glossary-of-terms.html#g).
