Hong Kong’s CSL demos 300Mbps LTE Advanced service, due early 2014 (video)

Phil Mottram, CEO of CSL.

It was only about four months ago when CSL, Telstra’s part-owned operator behind Hong Kong’s one2Free and 1010 networks, showed off its 150Mbps LTE Cat 4 upgrade; but why stop there? Today, the same company gave us a glimpse of its upcoming 300Mbps LTE Advanced service, which is enabled by aggregating its 20MHz carriers at both its 1,800MHz and 2,600MHz LTE bands.

“The announcements in Korea and the announcements in Australia around LTE Advanced… the theoretical speed that they’re delivering is 150Mbps. What we’re talking about today is LTE-A300,” said Phil Mottram, CEO of CSL. “It’s definitely a first for Hong Kong, and it’s potentially a world-first in terms of being able to deliver these theoretical, maximum download speeds at 300Mbps.” %Gallery-slideshow83577%

Comcast reportedly prepping 305Mbps internet service, aims to put FiOS in its place

Sure, at 300Mbps Verizon’s FiOS Quantum is lightning fast — but reports say that Comcast is prepping a new tier that’s just a little faster. According to Broadband Reports sources, Comcast’s Neil Smit told employees that the company would be introducing a 305Mbps downstream tier in Verizon FiOS territories “soon,” but neglected to mention a strict timetable. Details regarding pricing and data caps are similarly scarce, of course. Comcast has yet to comment on the rumor, but we’ll let you know if we hear anything official.
