EDGE, 3G, H+, Etc: What Are All These Mobile Networks?

[Venustus]

A good read for a basic understanding of mobile networks!!

Nowadays, we seem to use our mobile phones for connecting to the Internet and other online services more than we use them for actually making phone calls.

Sadly, the quality of the Internet service you receive can vary significantly. For example, some countries have more advanced telecom networks than others. Remote areas of wilderness will not necessarily have the same quality of coverage as big cities.

And even something as simple as being indoors can have a significant effect.

In Romania all the service providers offer a 4G LTE connection... There are only a few areas in which we have H+, however it's very speedy even with the H+. And the best part, it's pretty cheap.. around 10 Euro/Month for 2GB plan.

Here in Philippines, I'm ashamed on the internet connection services which not surprise why its rated to be one of the country's slow connection within expensive price.

The LTE is also limited on certain areas, which only reached up to 10 MBPS + far from what theoretically should observe considering numerous environmental factors.

Economy and considering as Third World country where struggles on many sectors.
