I’m doing online courses, and a TestOut LabSim video I just watched was going over mobile internet connections. They claim 4G can reach speeds of 1Gbps, though I find that incredibly hard to believe as that would make my cell phone internet speed 20 times faster than my home computer’s. Is this some kind of laboratory conditions theoretical max or are they just wrong?
In: Technology
According to the UN agency that makes the rules, [“4G”](https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/study-groups/rsg5/rwp5d/imt-adv/Pages/default.aspx) must support 1Gbps if you’re standing still and 100Mbps if you’re moving quickly (on that page, it’s listed in the box on the side). And yes, LTE-A technically can meet that requirement in laboratory conditions. In practice, you’re not going to get anywhere near 1Gpbs.
