The first speed goal of SKT, 60Mbps at WiFi+3G, seems to be bubble in reality. In real situation WiFi speed could be measured around 16~18Mbps and 2Mbps for 3G. Accordingly we might experience around 20Mbps at 3G service with this technology. However, it must be fantastic in LTE+WiFi which will be achieved around 80~90Mbps caused by leverage of WiFi.
