Gigabit LTE: At the end of February 2019, GSA has identified 100 operators in 59 countries or territories investing in all the three core LTE-Advanced features for Gigabit LTE (defined as Carrier Aggregation, 4×4 MIMO or higher, and 256QAM modulation in the downlink).

Some networks using all three features do not achieve 1 Gbps
The fastest networks in the GSA database are:
