I lost interest in the so called G wars by the telecom companies in Uganda. the 4G (LTE) of both mtn and orange is at the level of 2G and the 3.75!!!!!G and 3G of the rest of the telcoms i would still equate to 2G. i know G should not be an indicator for speeds but realistically there is no newer generation that performs worst than its predecessor. MTN 4G downloads are at around 500-900kbs (Dont tell me it depends on wat u are downloading where... because i know but this is a mid value from my using it downloading different things) A last years article on gizmodo about the slowest and fastest 4G network in the US had that the slowest was at around 5Mbps. trying to compare uganda's best at 900kbps and US's worst at 5Mbps.... we can come to a semi accurate conclusion that Uganda's network providers promise unrealistic and air technology. There are times i access UTL's WIRED network and i get to download speeds of 10Mbps
