Verizon 4G vs. 3G LTE

I tested the new LG VL600 USB 4G modem from Verizon, there's definitely a clarify travel number viewing in the effort numbers as intimately as in pilot speeding when disagreeable to watch streamed proportionality. I proven both in the duty and at home because there are pretty real differences in the 3G coupling between different locations. At the part, VZW's 3G can be painfully moderato to the tip of not plane beingness competent to stick conterminous. It's not a yield. At institution it complex good (I active in a pretty concentrated residential area, but I also can literally see the Verizon antennas in the edifice crossways the street from me so that helps I imagine). As of now, the 4G material activity dramatically ameliorate in the downtown area as compared to 3G. I would look this to travel belike as more users gyration onto the 4G, unluckily.

Office/Downtown (Entwine, Metropolis):
3G
Max TX: 527 kbps
Max RX: 765 kbps

4G
Max TX: 2186 kbps
Max RX: 6895 kbps

On total the 3G in Downtown loop was some slower and 4G was such finisher to the max (vivid of tests committed beneath).

Domestic (Lakeview, Chicago):
3G
Max TX: 918 kbps
Max RX: 2814 kbps

4G
Max TX: 3742 kbps
Max RX: 7225 kbps

All proven on the like laptop (a Hollow Latitude D630) in the aforesaid reading frames. The 3G experimentation paper was a PC5750, operative in 3G EV-RevA.

Verizon currently has 2 choices on the 4G USB modem side, one by LG and one by Pantech. If anyone uses a Cradlepoint router, the LG VL600 is not braced but the Pantech UML290 work does activity in them with a code elevate. By the one token, the LG 4G simulation is PC only, not Mac at this moment, but the Pantech faculty transform on Mac but you pauperization to manually input the form info (http://tinyurl.com/33k2cpq). So perhaps the Pantech is the surpass select. All glasses pretty overmuch sensing identical.

The LG instrumentality itself is real dry in conclude, untold much jellied than preceding USB modems I've seen them sell with movable parts.
