What is the LTE standard?
In telecommunications, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA standards. It improves on those standards’ capacity and speed by using a different radio interface and core network improvements.
What LTE bands does ATT use?
Our 4G LTE network is composed of the following bands:
- 700 MHz: Bands 12/17/29.
- 850 MHz: Band 5.
- 1900 MHz: Band 2.
- 1700 MHz /2100 MHz: Bands 4/66.
- 2300 MHz: Band 30.
What’s the difference between 4G and LTE on AT?
So what’s the difference between 4G and LTE, and is 4G or LTE better? In short, 4G offers a much faster speed, more stability and access to a larger variety of online activities. LTE is a half-point between 3G and 4G, so its performance suffers compared to the fourth generation.
What is a good LTE speed?
| Speed tests for 4G + or LTE+ | Average Download Speed | Average Upload Speed |
|---|---|---|
| LTE Advanced (LTE + or 4G +) | 84.40 Mbps | 18.50 Mbps |
| LTE Advanced (LTE + or 4G +) | 82.50 Mbps | 24.00 Mbps |
| LTE Advanced (LTE + or 4G +) | 80.30 Mbps | 21.10 Mbps |
| LTE Advanced (LTE + or 4G +) | 80.10 Mbps | 15.50 Mbps |
Why is my AT LTE so slow?
We may temporarily slow your speed at any time if our network is busy. We may also slow it after you use more than 50GB or 22GB of data in a single bill period. For those plans, we’ll text you when you’ve used 37.5GB or 16.5GB (which are 75% of 50GB or 22GB).
Which LTE band is the best?
Far more LTE networks have been deployed at 1800 MHz (band 3) than in any other frequency band. Band 3 is now widely used throughout Europe, APAC, MEA and is also deployed in selected countries in South America. It has become a core band for LTE deployments.
What GSM band is 4G?
Band 2
4G : 1900 MHz PCS, Band 2 (GSM-LTE). 1850 – 1990 MHz (CDMA-LTE). 700 MHz Lower Block A, Band 12 (GSM-LTE).
