Is LTE Cat 4,6,9,12 Supported By Our 4G Service Providers?
I don't see the difference when using LTE cat 4 phones between LTE cat 6,9, 12 devices
May be the 4g service providers don't have it on there network. Correct if am wrong.

Dam5reey:
The Cat number determine the Upload and download speed capacity, Cat 4 is the lowest and Cat 12 up to 600Mbps/150Mbps

jesbu please how can i remove the bootloader of my sprint phone. i want to debtand it. i'm not getting 4g signal

jesbu:
What am now asking is,if our service provider has it installed on their network?
Because I have used a phone with Cat 4 and Galaxy note 5 with Cat 9 I must tell you I did not see any difference in download and upload speed.

Perculiar:

brand my sprint s7 phone. please.

jesbu:
You can debrand it but you must root it for it to work and change the e signal to 4g . Have you heard of idone? Will send the site to you

They may support it. For WCDMA we have 3G, HSDPA, HSPA+, they all have different speeds and the speed depends on the device you use it. For instance, if you use data with this regular universal modems, you will think HSPA+ don't exist but use data with a phone or modem that supports HSPA+ and you'll enjoy it. So I believe it is the same principle for 4G, device dependent. I've seen where they mentioned something like 4G+. NB: for the experts in the field, I stand corrected. Just sharing an opinion.

I understand what you have said, I have with me mtn 4g and ntel 4g sim and I have so many phone because I sell phones . I have tested so many devices and the speed on this devices are the same be it cat 4 6 9 12. Am using Huawei mate 7 which has cat 6 but disable,if I turn it on(cat 6) my 4g Speed will decrease ,if I turn it off the speed wil increase.
The conclusion for me is that our service provider are just using ordinary 4g . They are cheating us
No 4g lte advanced in our country

I have made it simple... Cat4 is basically 150/50Mbps... And cat 12 about 600Mbps/150Mbps

Until the network provider can provide 600Mbps.. you will see no difference

The highest I have seen in Nigeria is 80Mbps... So either you are using any cat 4 to 12... You will only get 80Mbps...


Maybe in 2020
