Conclusion
Whilst 4G is generally a little more expensive than older data plans, for most smartphone users the benefits are enormous. With data speeds 10x or more faster than 3G and fast data coverage over wider areas 4G really does transform the way you think about and use the mobile internet and is at least a large a leap forward over 3G as 3G was over GPRS. For basic feature phone users who do little more than call or text the extra cost may not be worth it but for anyone with a smartphone the advantages are so great that it’s hard not to recommend 4G to everyone.
