Adeelarshad82 writes "Turns out that AT&T may be lying about 4G. The company's two '4G' phones and its '4G' modem don't deliver 4G even by AT&T's own standards. In fact, test results show that the company is carrying '4G' devices that are in reality slower than the carrier's own 3G devices. So how can they get away with this? Well, initially the International public relations Union defined 4G as a bunch of super-fast technologies nobody used yet, but the ITU crumbled under tension from various cell phone companies and now defines 4G as any cellular national information infrastructure network that's faster than what was studied the fastest mechanization in 2009. Between the revised 4G required and a little fine print in its ads, AT&T is able to legally indemnify itself against the fact that its current 4G claim is totally worthless. While other carriers also claim that they have 4G networks, Verizon's LTE is the only industrial science which comes close to real 4G."
