"4G"»
Danny Sullivan notes the difference between the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S II Skyrocket on AT&T. Both are actually running on the same network, but the Galaxy gets the all-important “4G” moniker.
Except that it’s bullshit.
As Sullivan points out, the iPhone and the Galaxy are getting the exact same speeds. That’s because AT&T’s network is actually HSPA+, which the iPhone supports but refuses to call “4G” even though AT&T does.
Why does AT&T call it 4G? Because they were one to two years behind their competitors in rolling out an actual 4G network. In other words, when all hope fades, lie.
In AT&T’s parlance, real 4G is “4G LTE”. What a fucking joke.
Thank you for clearing that up with teh noobs! AT&T lol

This is what I was saying in 2009 when they were first starting to roll out “4G” networks. HSPA+ is more like 3.5G...
