Hi Guys
My question is related to the LTE frequency they use I have an E980 and I am now in Qatar, the model they have here is E988 which is "LTE 1800 / 2600 - E988" however my E980 "LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100” and I am experiencing very slow 4G connection, is it because of the bandwidth or it might be something else.
Thanks in advace

E986: LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600

E988: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
