How fast is the 4G network, and who is the fastest among the three major 4G networks?

Tencent Technology News (Lexue) Beijing time on November 28, according to foreign reports, there is no doubt that the 4G network has greatly improved the speed of mobile connections. For many of us, this is a big step forward from fixed connections. Of the 52,587 broadband speed tests conducted by 4G network users from February to October this year, 13% of the tests achieved speeds of 20Mbps or higher.

Comparatively, only 1% of DSL tests (97,953 tests in total) achieved such speeds.

The average speed of the 4G network test is while the average speed of the DSL test is 6Mbps and the average speed of the 3G network test is. Fiber optic networks have also taken a big step forward, with an average speed of 3,120 tests conducted by home users.

In real life, the speed of the 4G network may be a little higher. Telstra's 4G network has an average speed of 2,188 tests); The average speed of OPDUS is 110 tests). The rest of the tests didn't have an associated Internet Service Provider (ISP), which means we couldn't identify their IP ranges.

It's strange that the average speed is so low. Either way, these test results may have lowered our actual average speed. However, we were able to easily conclude that:

The speed of 4G networks has now surpassed that of 3G networks and many existing fixed connections.

The big question is, what happens when the network starts to fill up? At this point, I would like to say that the 3G network is overcrowded, which is causing the speed to slow down, but this is not the case. Over the past nine months, 3G services have matured, and in fact, it's been a bit faster.

Its average speed went from February to a peak of 4Mbps in May and August, and finally dropped slightly to October. As a result, it is also possible for a mature 4G network to maintain its impressive speed record.

However, it's not all good news. We know that the speed of mobile services will vary slightly depending on their geographical location; The speed of the 4G network is no exception. 40% of the tests achieved speeds of no less than 5Mbps.

70% of the tests achieved speeds of at least 10Mbps – which is about a quarter of the maximum speed advertised by Telstra. The speed of a 4G network is great if it works properly, but it will never be able to achieve the continuity of a fixed connection.

Hello, I think it's not as good as 3G,

It's very fast to burn the flow.

China Unicom's 4G network is the fastest among the three major operators in Zhouzi.

1. The network speed value of the 4G network of the three major operators.

Mobile 4G: TD-LTE (850KB or more)

China Unicom 4G: FDD-LTE (multiple of TD)

Telecom 4G: TD-LTE + FDD-LTE (about 30% + 70%)

2. Network signal problems.

According to the actual use situation, the mobile 4G network is not the fastest, but it is indeed the most stable.

3. Advantages and disadvantages of the 4G network of the three major operators.

1. Telecom: The phone bill is the cheapest, and it is also more than the traffic of the Unicom package, and it can also be bound to broadband. The signal is stable.

Disadvantages: CDMA card, it is troublesome to change mobile phones in the future, and there are not as many types of CDMA parallel mobile phones as WCDMA. Generally, mobile phones cannot be used for other cards.

2. China Unicom: a good network, WCDMA FDD-LTE network speed is the fastest, calls and Internet access are carried out at the same time, there are many types of mobile phones, and mobile 2G cards can also be used. Disadvantages: I didn't give a good frequency band, resulting in poor signal penetration and severe attenuation. **No telecom is cost-effective.

3. Mobile: 2G coverage, 4G TD-LTE coverage, and good frequency band. Disadvantages: You can't go online and talk at the same time, and the Internet traffic is the most expensive.

The downlink peak rate of the G network can reach 100 Mbps (100 megabit seconds), which describes the transmission rate, often referred to as "bandwidth".

2. For example: Assuming a speed of 100M, how long can the 4G** traffic of 600M be used? Some professionals say that 100Mbps can theoretically achieve the fastest **speed per second, in fact, considering that the information needs to be packaged in the process of network transmission, etc., it also needs to be discounted, that is, 600M data in a high-speed network environment**, although it can not reach 6 seconds, but the fastest will be used up in a few minutes.

The 4G standard stipulates that the mobile communication rate is more than 100Mbps, and the static communication rate is more than 1000Mbps, which can be called a 4G network, so there is no standard 4G network that can be used now.

Nowadays, it is commonly referred to as 4G and generally refers to LTE networks, but LTE can only be called in fact, and only its evolution standard LTE Ato comply with the 4G standard. LTE A

For LTE, it is a smooth upgrade, basically only a software update is required, which is equivalent to the difference between HSPA and WCDMA.
