    Default 4G on Lime - Samsung S4

    Does anyone know if the S4 sold by Lime supports 4g data speeds? Currently only seeing 3g (in Kingston) and speed tests max out at 700k download speeds.

    I know they havent officially launched as yet, but the thing is I was able to get a "4g" signal indicator and a much faster speed test on a s3 ( not from lime) in the same spot. Makes me wonder if its something specific to the model that lime sells or if they are restricting the speeds

    All i9500 supports 3.5G (21Mbps max theoretical) which is what LIME is calling 4G

    If you want LTE (true 4G 100Mbps max theoretical) you will have to find out if the S4 LIME sells is the i9505... which I doubt.

    Simply put... if you see 3G from LIME it maybe that they have a coverage or signal strength or quality problem in that area and are only able to supply "UMTS speeds" (3G UMTS 384 kbps max theoretical)

    When your -dbm or signal strength increases YOU MAY see it go up to H (7.2Mbps) and then H+ (21Mbps)
