What is the difference between 4G and 4G Plus coverage?

Asked 2 years ago
The difference between 4G and 4G Plus coverage primarily lies in the speed and capacity of the network. 4G, also known as Long Term Evolution, offers higher data speeds than its predecessor, 3G. It typically provides download speeds ranging from 5 to 100 megabits per second, depending on various factors such as location and network congestion. This level of coverage is well-suited for activities such as browsing the internet, streaming videos, and using applications that require a stable internet connection. On the other hand, 4G Plus is an enhanced version of the standard 4G network. It utilizes advanced technologies such as carrier aggregation, which combines multiple frequency bands to improve both download and upload speeds. As a result, users can experience significantly faster data rates, often exceeding 100 megabits per second, and reaching up to 300 megabits per second in optimal conditions. This makes 4G Plus particularly beneficial for users who engage in data-intensive tasks such as high-definition video streaming or online gaming. In conclusion, while both 4G and 4G Plus provide substantial mobile data services, 4G Plus offers enhanced speed and performance for more demanding applications. For the latest information on coverage in specific areas, it is advisable to look on the Optus website.
