Which service do you use 2G or 3G?
The answer for above question may be any one of them, but are we getting actual speed we pay for ?The world is crawling in the era of 5G and in India we are still happy with 3G, do we really get 3G speed? With the advancement in the technology there is huge change in the speed of Internet. Now a days we often hear by the people that, I am using 2G internet speed, I am using 3G Internet speed, but does it really a 2G or 3G Speed or there is only speculation regarding the speed by the various telecom companies that we provide 2G, 3G or 4G speed. When I subscribed such package I go through various tests and compared the data of 2G and 3G Networks. Here I did not publish the name of Service provider because this is not the problem of only one, most of the providers are Victims (Yes we are the real Victims). To understand the various speeds first of all we should understand the Spectrum for which we use the Word 2G or 3G or 4G. The word Spectrum refers to radio frequencies used by various services such as RADIO STATIONS, CELLPHONES, TV STATIONS etc. various services allocate different frequencies for each service to avoid overlapping. The frequency used by Cellular services belongs to 300-3000 MHz which is UHF (Ultra High Frequency). As the frequency spectrum for cellular services are allocated to different speeds to different service providers, the service providers try to provide services to their users using the channels available. The speed of the service can be tested by example: If there is a file of size 10 Mb and the service provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) is 1 Mbps (1 Megabyte per second) the approximate time taken should be 10-11 seconds, but in reality we often wait for at least 5-10 Min. In 3G sometimes the speed we get merely touches 100Kbps. Service providers often make their profit by using the same channel and networks to distribute the services over wide range of users. There is also another major problem that the services said by the company’s works mostly in the city range, if one often moves from one location to another (Outside city) there is problem in service.
So my question is that:
1) We get the actual speed that is said by the companies?
2) What amount we should pay for the service we actualy not getting ?
3) Is there any solution regarding the consumers problem?
4)Is the Internet Speed we subscribe for, we really Get??
