Could be but most "contention" problems these days are not the

It would make no sense to upgrade backhaul beyond the capacity limits of
the transmitter. Or to have it less either.

Some years ago I attend as a vendor an open air show before it started -
we came the night before - cell coverage was OK and up to 9600 bps was
available. With the show in fill flood you couldn't even sustain a voice
call reliably.

In the end its transmitter capacity that dominates


The transmitter/receiver *is* the backhaul. More fibre isn't usually the
issue.


Oh, sorry, are you still talking about cellphone bases, the discussion seems
to have extended to comms services in general? Don't mobile networks rent
backhaul too?

Of course they do. to get data to the towers and back.
