U.S. drops to 55th in 4G LTE speeds

<article>

<p>
The U.S. has fallen to No. 55 in LTE performance as speeds rise rapidly in countries that have leapfrogged some early adopters of the popular cellular system.</p><p>
The average download speed on U.S. 4G networks inched up to 10Mbps (bits per second) in the June-August quarter, according to research company OpenSignal. That was an improvement from 9Mbps in the previous quarter, but the country’s global ranking fell from 43rd as users in other countries enjoyed much larger gains. </p><p>
The U.S. was one of the first countries with commercial LTE service when Verizon Wireless launched its network in late 2010. But other countries that adopted the system later started with better technology, and some have secured more frequencies or rolled out enhancements that U.S. carriers haven’t embraced as much, OpenSignal said. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2985916/mobile/us-rank-drops-to-55th-in-4g-lte-speeds.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
