Speeds:
I experienced very good/consistent speeds on Telenor all across the places where I'm able to latch on to 4G.
Band Details : AP Circle Specific
Frequency Band : 3 / 1800Mhz Band - Telenor deployed Lean LTE on this band
Download Bandwidth: 3MHz
Upload Bandwidth: 3MHz
Voice functionality : Voice falls back to 2G from 4G/LTE. FYI: There is no 3G service available.
In what Telenor calls it as the fastest network upgrade, all its BTS which serve 2G now also serve 4G/LTE. So, where ever you have 2G signal of Telenor, you can enjoy LTE as well.
Our Take :
To those users who enjoy Telenor's services, definitely a very much value for money packs especially considering the night usage benefit one can enjoy if you are a night owl. The internet speeds are also consistent and more than the speed itself I can say reliable in a word. Dear readers, are you enjoying Telenor's 4G services?
