4G technology provides significantly higher speeds for data transfer compared to 3G. It allows for speeds up to 100 Mbps for mobile users and 1 Gbps for stationary users. This allows users to stream high definition content and download full movies within minutes. 4G networks utilize packet switching which makes more efficient use of bandwidth compared to 3G circuit switching. While 4G provides substantial benefits, challenges remain in fully implementing and integrating its high-speed services.
