difference between 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g

Truth be told, 2G speeds are a LOT slower than 4G LTE . In fact, if Straight Talk ever throttles your connection down to 2G you’ll likely be receiving download speeds in the 10Kbps range, or perhaps even slower. That’s actually slower than most dial-up Internet connections!

LTE, sometimes known as 4G LTE, is a type of 4G technology . Short for “Long Term Evolution”, it’s slower than “true” 4G, but significantly faster than 3G, which originally had data rates measured in kilobits per second, rather than megabits per second.

3G vs LTE. The main difference between 3G and LTE is that the 3G is the oldest technology of the group, and it is slower than the LTE . On the other hand, LTE is a new technology, which is ten times faster than 3G. The term 3g refers to the third generation network, which is the oldest technology in the group.

In theory, LTE can be up to ten times faster than 3G . In practice, the actual network speed will vary based on network load and signal strength. Even if LTE does not meet its theoretical speed, it is still much faster than 3G.
