Signal indicator question

[milehigherik]

I've tried browsing the web and searching specifically the answer to my question. I am with T-Mobile and I am curious with the signal strength meanings are. I have seen 3G, the letter H and also LTE . Can someone please point me in the direction or give me the answer to what these streets indicate ? Thank you in advance for your help

The letters LTE, H, and E represent (best to worst) the type of signal your device is getting from the cell tower. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution; H stands for HSPA+, and E is (I'm a little foggy here ) a first-generation cell signal. The point of all this is to give the user an idea of how good the signal is at that particular location.

I don't understand your use of the word "streets" -- was that a typo?

Also... I've never used T-Mo so I may be unfamiliar with that network's signal indicators.

Streets was a typo. Should have said strengths. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Where did 3g place amongst those strengths?

LTE = 4G
HSPA/HSPA+ = 3G
Edge = 2G
