What is a "Six 3g"? The Most Authoritative Explanation.

What is 3G (3G)?

3G (short for third generation) is the third generation of wireless mobile telecommunications technology. It is the upgrade for 2.5G and 2.5G GPRS networks, for faster data transfer.

How old is the 3G network?

The 3G networks are very old. The form of 3G that Sprint and Verizon use is actually an enhancement to 2G, so those networks are basically on 1995-1996 technology. AT&T and T-Mobile introduced 3G widely in 2006-2007. (Here's my review of 3G services from 2006!)

What are the characteristics of each generation of 3G networks?

Each generation is characterized by new frequency bands, higher data rates and non–backward-compatible transmission technology. The first commercial 3G networks were introduced in mid-2001.

Is 3G still used in the UK?

While 3G is still used by people in the UK it is no longer the fastest or newest method of carrying mobile data, as it’s been superseded by 4G and even 5G now. 4G was first rolled out in 2012 by EE and now it’s widespread on every UK network. 4G is typically around five times faster than 3G, and in some cases can get faster still.
