4G peak speeds are much faster than 3G peak speeds.

But 4G in fringe, "barely get a signal" areas is slower than 3G in good signal areas

That was the paradox of our vacation in far southwest North Carolina.
If you were down in what passes for civilization (where they have
electricity) cell service was spotty and broadband was unobtanium but
if you were hiking in the mountains, miles from the nearest living
soul, you had 4G.


Sounds like either you were in line of sight of a 4G tower, or maybe
there was a "market" somewhere nearby that got a lone tower...
