Keep it civil please...
I live in extended network and I'm beginning to think 4g is better than extended! !!! The reason I say is because I went 6 hours on extended network with moderate use and battery discharged to 70%.... on 4g now for 10 hours with moderate usage I'm still pumping 30%.... guess I need to move to 4g area

FoxKat said:Which makes complete sense if you understand how the extended network works. Long range directional antennas project the signal out beyond the fringe of the 4G network. This gets the 4G signal out to phones well beyond the normal range of standard 4G towers. This leaves only one problem. The cell phone had to get the return signal back to that tower and since the cell phone doesn't project the signal directionally, it's only option is to increase output power...which consumes more battery power.
