Not really asking what Internet speed it needs to function properly, but rather 
what you should expect to get on a smartphone connected to the Network Extender 
and not using WiFi.

Not sure why someone would use it like this, maybe they don’t want to give out 
the WiFi password.

I have a 10/2 and it works great. I have no idea why they would use it like 
that though. I only use Wifi for data when I am connected to it. If you turn on 
the phone WiFi it won't use the femtocell for data.

    I thought these were only 3G and mainly for voice, assuming if you really 
cared about data you would just connect directly to WiFi.  I remember when my 
smartphone speeds used to top out around 1M but I don't remember if those were 
the 3G days or whatever was before 3G.

    I have a customer on a 20Mx20M connection who put in a couple of these 
microcells and is complaining about Internet speeds on their smartphones only 
being around 1M, they called Verizon who blamed our Internet.  Verizon also had 
them test speed to internetfrog.com which gave significantly worse results than 
speedtest.net.  I swear the training for all microcell support reps is "blame 
the ISP".
