Do we pay more on 4G?

No, we don't. This is because the higher rates on 4G are offset to a large extent by the speed increases which is almost five times more than the comparable 3G packages. A recent mobile broadband price benchmarking results from Strategy Analytics, a market research company specialising in technology, shows average download speeds now stand at just under 33 Mb/s, largely as a result of increased availability of 4G services, based on data collected across OECD countries. End-users on 4G connections will therefore not only enjoy a better experience from the high speed data service, the rates they end up paying are comparable to those of their previous packages.

Teligen Director Halvor Sannaes said: "Although 4G services are more expensive than 3G services, the speed differential is much more significant than that of price. Furthermore, we expect the price gap to decrease over the coming quarters".
