3.5G Hspa is approximately 4G which is what most service providers Show on there phone,
4G is still 3g to those who have some bold5 or samsung including Htc too that shows 4g what u av is 3.5g but it's just approximate it.

The Main 4G Network Is LTE, which is very fast no doubt, but even 3.5g in most countries is faster than our spectranet, smile or swift LTE speeds

3.5G on its own is a beast if you use it in advanced countries you know our mtn and co is bull shit, not to talk of real 4g lte

What these swift and spectranet e.t.c are doing is just giving us good 3.5g speeds but broadcasting them through 4g receptions
Imagine a LTE network that can't download at 2mbps even quality 3.5g can achieve up to 6mbps download speed

It's My birthday Tho
my smile speed hits 25mbps

Etisalat 3G is equal to or greater than = > MTN 18g Zain 118G and GLO 1118G.
Etisalat is so fast dat even if u are inside d swimming pool with your smart Phone or inside the blast furnance e go still dey fast. Even after Ramadan etisalat go still dey fast

Talking from experiece.

Also etisalat 1GB data plan is more than zain 2.5GB plan.

Its not funny so don't quote me..Quote me @ ur own peril.

I was using MTN Hynet which is supposed to be a WiMAX technology therefore a 4G for up to 3yrs. Recently, I switched over to Etisalta due to MTN hynet incessant downtime. My God, I have missed a lot locking myself with poor MTN. Etisalat speed test result is unbelievable and since then my MTN Hynet modem has been abandoned somewhere gathering dusts.

What of gprs, cause I do remember vividly then. . We used to say small g and big G . Then when network cums, a small box envelops the small g and then u know u r browsing.. after a while edge came.. And if yr phone was on edge.. U r the boss.. No body download in megabyte. . Only in kilobyte.

The era of Waptrick games and sharemobile.ro and Sefan.ru

gprs, though not shown in the picture, is 2.5g. It has an upward speed of about 384kbps. edge is also 2.5g but has a higher speed than that of GPRS. It's not there for business purposes as vendors would prefer selling the idea of 2g to 3G, etc. Be aware that the speed shown are just as theoretical since closeness to base station, coding techniques, technologies used, and your phone(does it support all the technologies to ensure the optimum speed?) can significantly impact the speed performance.

Other improvements not included in the figure are, HSPDA, HSPUA, and HSPA+ which is very close to 4G. More so, as said earlier , its sole purpose is marketing techniques as organisations like to make more money by pushing unrealistic and easy-to-understand terms to us.

My new phone is 3.5G. MTN dey try. But such things no concern airtel.

If I switch to 3G airtel go vex remove network.
You observed it too... Airtel is very useless.

Upon its main sim, i didn't put it in my phone for about 2 weeks now... Just inserted my 2 MTN sims in my phone which is far better for browsing.

Very poor network.
