Is LTE good or bad?

Is LTE the same as WiFi?
LTE technologies provide data transfer speeds of between 100 megabits per second(100Mbps) and one Gigabit per second(1Gbps). The Wi-Fi standard specifies data transfer speeds between 11 Mbps, 54Mbps 600 Mbps and 1Gbps depending on the specification. Newer standard WiFi 6 promises speeds of up-to 10Gbps.
