"Signal Range
30-140km or 15-80 miles from a cell tower*"

Horse****....H-O-R-S-E-S-H-I-T!

3G/GSM is on the 1900 Mhz PCS phone system. They're lucky to get
3 miles from a tower and still have a connect.

1900 Mhz is LINE-OF-SIGHT with some awful path attenuation....

80 miles from an airplane at 10,000 feet, maybe....if there's no
other cell towers visible.

"Internet Speed
Broadband speeds up to 3.6mbps*"

* = "network dependent". You might get 3.6mbps if you have your
own network, unshared with others and UNCAPPED by a PCS carrier.
That isn't going to happen, either. The "system" may be capable
of 3.6M bps, but the carriers, in the high RF noise environment,
are lucky to get 500Kbps on a regular basis.
