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.

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.

As 3G adoption stagnated not long after it became mainstream, there may not be as many subscribers in a cell , and so that may lead you to, at times, being able to access more of the bandwidth in that cell vs the LTE one you are in.
