Here is coming a new thing with the name of 4G and I do not know what is this? Before there is a 3G, what are these and who introduce them and what are the uses of these "G" series.

4G is SUPPOSED TO BE a standard of the bandwidth and security of mobile device networks, particularly Smartphones, such as the latest iPhone.

However, the manufactures and the providers admit they do not "actually" meet the 4G standards, and in some cases fall well short of them, as I've even seen mentioned.

So "functionally," 4G is nothing more than a misleading marketing tool, and is only marginally better than 3G.

I recently bought a 3G+ modem thinking I'll get faster internet services. I am disappointed. It turns out the transmitting towers has to be of a superior type too.

3g, 4g, 5g, Xg is not a desktop internet solution, and definitely not a family internet solution.
