Now what is the topic supposed to be? Simple. For that i need to tell you how i got this idea.
Everyone knows speedtest.net. I always check my speed, and for the past six months, i used to get a speed of about 400kbps with Tata photon. Complained to them, and one person gave me an answer. Sir, please be happy. You atleast get 400kbps. I was really angry, because we dont get the proper service for which we pay. And the other thing they tell, is High Utilization Area. If they cant control how much connections that tower will use, then why do they actually run a network?? According to Indian laws, a common man is useless. Anyone who has high influence, can do anything. People like us, can just wonder. People like me, will just check speedtest.net. I used to wonder when broadbands in our country will even cross 10 mbps, when the rest of world enjoy speeds like more than 25mbps.
There came fibreoptics, and i was searching for a ACT connection. Like fate was written, it was told that they need to get proper permission, and hence, it will take some time for them to come to my area. Then a local advertisement came to my aid. Got the connection from the same area which turned out to be a very good company, and there, Tada! Speed is 10 mbps. Upgraded, now speed is showing 50 Mbps. Folks, thats, the full speedometer of speedtest.net.
Now coming to the topic, i was just thinking, if my service provider can provide me with such a high speed connection, then how does he connects to the internet, and with what speed??? Then i did some research, and realized, in this modern era, Google has taken over everything. For everyone, Internet means Google. Internet means Facebook. Internet means Whatsapp. Internet is, ofcourse, we dont use it properly.
I realized, that, from the consumer level, the Internet Service providers, called the ISPs, connect to the Tier 3 networks, Tier 2 networks, way upto Tier 1 network. Tier 1 network means the ISPs have full access. I know it sounds Greek and latin, but with my poor understanding of networking, i realized, Tier 1 network access, in this world, has been maintained by very few companies. Among them, are all the USA based companies like Sprint, AT&T, etc. In India, Tata communications has a Tier 1 network. Folks, those people, told me High Utilization Area!! So, to be honest, if you guys can get hands on fibernet connection, then close your eyes and change it. It is faster, cheaper, and it gives way more productivity rather than waiting for a DSL or ADSL connection. Btw, Fiberoptics transfers signals in the form of light and then convert to electric signals. Pardon me if any mistake is there in this, as i am not a pro to know about this in detail.
So, like a sage, my brain got reactivated, and then i had a long standing doubt which i didnt clear for the past two years. What is 4G and 4G LTE?? I knew that both are not the same, and it has a subtle difference.
Still in confusion, and according to the fact that Internet means Google, I knelt down to my eternal protector, who has saved me from countless situations, be it answering in boards, or answering others, etc. As it turns out, 2G has circuit pathway, and 3G has a packet transfer pathway. Your voice calls and all can use 2G, but to upgrade its speed, 3G HSPA came into existence, which gave 3.2mbps, and its upgrade HSPA+, upto a speed of 7.2 mbps. The International Union of Telecommunications, told, 4G, its super upgrade, should deliver speed of about 100mbps per second, and wireless spot of about 1Gigabit per second. This speed is still unachievable over a mobile network, and hence, companies got in between speed and named as 4G LTE. LTE stands for Long term evolution, and it should give a speed of about 21 to 42mbps. As our Airtel challenge ad, they claim the fastest, and yes they are at present; but speed i get in the centre of metropolitan is about 8mbps. Its just marketing strategy, and 4G LTE came to be used interchangeably as 4G. If we get into a time where the International union rules are met, then we will be having a super charged smartphone, which can do anything in a fraction of second.
And as the saying goes, Internet means Google, but for a change, if you are searching for your profession and others, try Google Scholar (which displays first when you search) also when you search. It will give you better search results than the regular Google does.
Internet means Google. Internet means Social media. Internet means messengers. For once, get a life, by using them when you need.
Until next time. :)
