LTE-A is the closest there is to true 4G speeds, but not quite there. The network can use what is called carrier aggregation, which combines up to 5 signals that let data pass through antennas simultaneously. This allows different carriers to combine the bandwidth signal and provide faster speeds.20 Mar 2020
Read moreIs LTE network better than 4G?
In laymans terms, the difference between 4G and LTE is that 4G is faster than LTE . The reason for this is that 4G meets the technical standards designated for it whereas LTE data transfer speed standard is merely a stopgap measure standard devised until actual 4G speed is realized.17 Eyl 2019
Read moreIs LTE the fastest network?
Verizon 4G LTE wireless broadband is 10 times faster than 3G — able to handle download speeds between 5 and 12 Mbps (Megabits per second) and upload speeds between 2 and 5 Mbps, with peak download speeds approaching 50 Mbps. Cable speeds vary, but 4 to 12 Mbps are common.
Read moreWhy is my data so slow on 4G?
So what is going on? One potential cause of a slow download speed whilst having good signal is deprioritization . Operators “deprioritize” some users at busy times to help deal with network congestion, but that deprioritization can happen differently for users on different rate plans.

Read moreIs LTE better than 3G data?
LTE is a lot faster , but in high traffic areas can be slower than 3G. The problem is congestion. When it’s rush hour in the city, it’s sometimes faster to take the back roads than the freeway. While 3G can be faster than LTE in rare circumstances, the norm is that LTE is much faster.
