4G is becoming the next internet front for consumers and businesses alike. It is faster than 3G internet connectivity and offers several other benefits. However, there are several myths about the use of technologies in the business. Here are some of the biggest myths, along with the truth.

Myth: 4G is Only Available in Large Metros

However, this is further than the truth. Most providers are using flat-rate pricing for their 4G package. You just pick a bundle and enjoy unlimited internet.
