Why do I have 3G instead of LTE?
LTE is a 4G protocol. H+ for Evolved HSPA, H is HSPA, 3G protocol and finally E for EDGE which is a 2G protocol. So if you’re seeing 3G you know you’ve got a fairly bad signal to the nearest cell tower.
Why do I only get 3G?
In a voice call most devices drop from LTE to WCDMA (3G) and if the sim is not provisioned and/or the device is not capable when you initiate a voice call it will always go to 3G. If the device is capable of VoLTE, Voice over LTE it will always remain in a LTE even in a call if the network has the capability.
Is 3G stronger than LTE?
In theory, LTE can be up to ten times faster than 3G. In practice, the actual network speed will vary based on network load and signal strength. Even if LTE does not meet its theoretical speed, it is still much faster than 3G.
Why do I no longer have LTE?
If you’re not on the move and see LTE disappear, there may be something else going on. It could be a phone fault, software fault or even a network fault. If your data speed remains the same, it could be a network issue or upgrade. If your data speed drops, it could be a network outage or phone fault.
Why do I only have 4G and not LTE?
So the reason your phone says LTE is because you are in an area that has the fastest internet speeds. When you are in an area in which your phone says “4g” it’s because you are using a cell phone tower that has the slower, HSPA, internet speed.
