Improve LTE speed - how it works

Improve your LTE speed to be even faster on the Internet. In this practical tip, we will tell you exactly how to do this.

What does LTE speed depend on?

As a cellular technology, the speed of your LTE network depends on several factors:

As with DSL tariffs, you get a maximum of the booked speed, for example LTE with 50 Mbit / s. First read in your contract what speed you have booked.
Your current position also plays a role: You have poor reception in buildings or cellars, for example. Even if a mast is too far or too close, reception may be poor. This is especially the case when you move quickly. The LTE connection can often depart on trains or on the motorway - this also affects your speed.
In a WLAN network, there are different channels that are used for sparking. The same applies to LTE: if there are too many users in your area who also control the same radio cell, your speed can be reduced.

To increase your LTE speed, you should consider the following tips:

Test the speed of your LTE connection with an LTE speed check. If you reach the maximum of your booked tariff, you should book a tariff with a better speed.
Note that the best position is near a transmission tower. However, you shouldn't stand right next to it either. Find out where the nearest mast is near you here.
Pay attention to the optimal router and hardware settings of your devices. In our practical tips, we will tell you how to increase your download speed and improve your ping. The tips also work for an LTE connection.

Of course, you do not have to do without the fast connection at home: We will also help you if your DSL speed is too low.
