Here are the publicly stated expected speed rates for the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. 4G LTE speeds vs. your home network | Verizon Wireless
That answer depends on the context of your device, plan and service area.
Please share more information such as the suggestions above so we can accurately answer your question.
Generally speaking there are two main tiers of performance with Verizon, 3G and 4G LTE. There are also other scenarios that may apply according to your Verizon device and your service area. You will have to clarify what scenario you are asking about first.
My service with Verizon is one or two bars of 4G LTE. We have never seen 3 or 4 bars of service at our location in rural upstate NY.I am currently on a 4GB data plan as we only use the Verizon service for our cell phones. This will change to whatever is best if I can get the internet via 4G LTECurrently, our internet service is via HughesNet Gen5 where the best speeds are 15Mbps down and 5 Mbps up.
Thank you for your help.
So, you're thinking of using your Verizon cell service as your internet provider if you can get better up/down speeds? Will you be providing a hot spot for your laptop or other devices that access the internet? How will the cost of your internet data consumption by your current internet provider compare to that of using your cell services as the internet provider?
Well, if I can get equal to Gen5 speeds, I will switch to an unlimited plan for our cell phones (2) and one tablet. Then I would acquire a jetpack device from Verizon to facilitate broadcasting the WiFi signal in our home to our computers (one laptop and one desktop). Gen5 service is expensive....$50 per month for 30GB of usage., and they have no unlimited plan. If I go up to 50GB with Gen5 it is $75 per month.
Our usage profile is roughly 25-30GB per month on HughesNet.Our usage on our cell phones and tablet is less than 3GB per month.We do not download video or stream as the speeds are just to slow in this rural area.
So, if the Verizon service works, and speeds are comparable, we ditch the HughesNet and expand to an unlimited VZ plan with a jetpack device, too.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
