It doesn't need to be gigabit speeds to make a difference, though initial speed tests on T-Mobile do show peaks getting close. The bigger advantage, IMO, is providing additional options that can reasonably compete with what most people get on the cable side (and thus hopefully allowing enough competition to get our pricing closer to what other developed countries see).
