Is LTE better than 3G

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.

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

LTE Advanced (LTE+) describes the 4G standard . Depending on the reception, LTE and LTE+ have significantly higher download rates than older standards-up to 150 Mb per second with LTE and up to 300 Mb per second with LTE+.

4G+, or accelerated 4G, can reach speeds up to 2.5 times faster than 4G .

With 5G, networks can move vast amounts of data more efficiently than with 4G LTE . That means: Faster speeds to download movies and shows or video chat on the go. More connected devices with a faster signal at large events.
