The original definition of 4G, as defined by the governing body
known as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is any
network that can achieve minimum speeds of 100 Mbps and top
out at 1 Gbps. However, various U.S. carriers have defined 4G
speeds as anything that exceeds standard 3G speeds, with AT&T,
Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon each calling their HSPA+, WiMax, or
LTE networks 4G though all networks achieve speeds far less
than the minimum 100 Mbps speeds.
Those carriers have chosen to re-define their speed claims.
Verizon says its LTE network can achieve 5-15 Mbps in real-time
usage while Sprint claims speeds are up to 10 times faster than
3G speeds. More elusive are T-Mobiles and AT&Ts speed claims
where the two HSPA+ network defines their speeds by theoretical
maximumsT-Mobile claims up to 42 Mbps while AT&T is now
rolling out new devices with 21 Mbps maximum theoretical
speedsbut real life usage will yield results that are not even close
to the maximum speeds.
Average speed of 3G devices are around 384Kbps to 3Mbps (if
you have what some consider 3.5G) and 4G gets an average of
5Mbps to 12Mbps (some higher in some instances). It really
depends on the technology behind what is considered by the
telecom company as 4G. WiMax is nowhere close to 4G speeds
as the companies consider them, but no technology is
implemented by any phone company to be actual 4G, but instead
is upgraded 3G. 4G is actually supposed to be a minimum of
100Mbps with a maximum of 1Gbps, and the phone companies
say that the maximum bandwidth they have is 42Mbps for 4G, but

only average below the 10-15Mbps average they claim. 3G

(originally governed as being minimum speed of 384Kbps and
maximum 2Mbps) is definitely slower than 4G, and is noticeable in
terms of internet video buffering and stuttering. 4G is worth it if
you were to use it and have access to the networks that contain it,
but if you dont have 4G access, then it will drain your battery big
time. You could lose 2 hours or more of battery life just from
having 4G capabilities turned on, let alone using it.
Using video conferencing like Skype was not capable on 3G
devices as the speeds were too low to handle it, but 4G devices
are able to handle it with little problem. The speed increase is
anywhere from 2 to 5 times that of 3G (maximum of 2 or 3Mbps
versus peak average of 10Mbps on 4G).
The only extra feature 4G has is higher internet speed capabilities
with the ability to be backwards compatible with 3G networks. The
device will have a 4G if it is using a 4G network, an H if it is
using an upgraded 3G (or 3.5G) network, 3G if it is using 3G
network, or E for Edge or 2G network.
