Since the introduction of Smartphones, the internet
services to support them have grown quickly and become very fast. We
are up to 4G (Forth Generation) broadband wireless mobile. [1]Pg 166] 4G
broadband is the fastest of the generations and offers the most
possibilities.
Mobile phones have become so much more than just that, a Mobile Phone. It is fascinating to actually see the growth of phones between a time period as short of even five years. 4G is not only limited to cell phones, as it also can be used for laptops and other mobile devices. [2] options such as the ability to access high-definition (HD) 4G offers new options such as options to access view, and download high-definition video, high-quality voice, and high-data-rate wireless channels via mobile devices. [2] These options not only provide new users with more forms to enjoy entertainment, but also for company's to do business. With a higher data rate and broader bandwidth capability, 4G technology focuses on providing seamless service across a multitude of wireless networks and systems [2]
As compared to 3G network, a 4G network can be up to 10 times faster allowing for quicker everything. [3] According to a website with a chart comparing 3G to 4G the Peak Upload rate for 3G is 50 megabits/second, where as 4G is 500 megabits/second. The peak download rater for 3G is 100 megabits/second where as for 4g it is 1 gigabit/second. [4] So from these statistics alone the speed is significantly better.
Paired with 4G, Verizon and AT&T use 4G LTE or Forth Generation Long-Term Evolution. The point of LTE was to make sure that specific broadband standards are valid in the future. [5]
Some Targets set for the implementation of LTE include:

Unanimously with the many websites I have views 4G is significantly
faster than 3G. One thing that may be confused with 4G that is does not
improve call networks so if you get a lot of dropped calls with 3G,
transferring to 4G will not change that. [3] In conclusion 4G is the
newest and most powerful mobile broadband available to the public. I am
sure in a few years 5G or whatever they want to call it will be
released.

Some Targets set for the implementation of LTE include:
- Increased peak data rate:100Mbps for DL with 20MHz (2 Rx Antenna at UE), 50Mbps for UL with 20MHz
- Improved spectral efficiency: 5bps/Hz for DL and 2.5bps/Hz for UL
- Improved cell edge performance (in terms of bit rate)
- Reduced latency: [5]
