What is 3G / 4G / 4G LTE
Probably you kids would be wondering what the hack it is, or just proud to show your friends that you had a 4G when your friend only had a 3G.
So imma about to give some lesson for those brats who has no clue about it;
First of all you should know there's Two basic technologies in mobile phones, CDMA and GSM.
I'm not gonna waste my time here and talk about CDMA which we're not using in Malaysia, if you're from united state and uses AT&T and T-Mobile you're at the right place.
Anyway,
well, when i ask you the abbreviation of the GSM you probably would say Global System for Mobile Communications
Well that is a bullshit....its originally called as a Groupe Spécial Mobile because its originated from Europe :) Yes it's in french...of course...Jesus...!!!
I'm not gonna brag about history here, let me come to the point.
3G is a 3rd Generation of a GSM technology,
Introduced in malaysia by around the 2007 if im not mistaken, With minimum consistent Internet speeds of 144Kbps. But now it reaches to 400kbps.
4G is a 4th Generation of GSM technology
New generations usually bring new base technologies, more network capacity for more data per user, and the potential for better voice quality, too.
Where 4G suppose to be faster which which works with HSPA+ 21/42, the now obsolete WiMAX. ( I know you have no Clue what im saying so skip this technical part you noob)
Many people consider LTE is a 4G technology.
Generally, if a cellular provider, provides 4G network without mentioning LTE, they are probably talking about a High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) network. The HSPA network is a faster version of the 3G GSM network.
Which means you are paying for a rotten old slower improvised GSM technology for higher price :)
Stupid......
LTE - LONG-TERM EVOLUTION
It can be up to
ten times faster than 3G. Activities that require large amounts of data, such as streaming movies, work very well in it.
is it clear......???? good...
Very soon you will heard about LTE and Wi-Fi Link Aggregation (LTE - U), which gonna make more unexpected surprises.
HOW TO PREVENT YOUR SELF FROM GETTING F'd UP BY SERVICE PROVIDER WHEN SELECTING A SERVICE PLAN:
When service provider claim to have broad nationwide 4G coverage. They may really be taking about HSPA coverage and not LTE coverage. So beware of it....
Currently im using, Service provider: DiGi-Postpaid which provides LTE services and since Last February(2015) they now had a LTE services for prepaid users too...
So if you wanna try the LTE, should i tell you how... Just buy the phones that support LTE, like iPhone 5, 5s, 5c, Iphone 6, 6 Plus....
Other than phone: iPad Air, Ipad Air 2.
How about other brand than Apple???
How the F' i know... Check the brochures, online or ask that Leng Chai / Leng Loi
at the store...
.....I think i'm done here.....So that's it....chowwww....
Thumbs up if you like the information that i shared and feel free to share around too, its Free Tho :)
