It came to USA in 2009, and became the 1st carrier to offer 4G cellular network.
All the 4G technologies are supposed to provide at maximum the rate of 100M bits/sec data transfers. Generally, the download and upload speeds of a carrier depends on its signal strength and quality. It also has the ability to surpass the data transfer rate of cable modem transmissions and DSL connections. WIMAX is known to be a popular 4G network technology in Asia and Eastern Europe and Long Term Evolution (LTE) is also a 4G network which seen to be very popular in USA and Scandinavia.
