I find it ironic how AT&T is saying a competitor is using false advertising about their network when years ago AT&T called their advanced 4G network 5Ge and customers all of sudden thought their 4G phone supported 5G or in the early 2010s when they called their HSPA network 4G.

Att is scared 😱. Cox and Spectrum are biggest internet cable provider now even over Comcast. I am in Houston but Charter was in limited areas. I'd expect them especially in major markets too expand fiber and hot spots which could have people choose their wireless too. Putting pressure on Comcast and Att is definitely whats needed!!!

They started that in 2018. I had friends tell me in 2019 that they saw the 5Ge on their phone (so they thought they had 5G).


AT&T did not have actual 5G in my area until June of 2020...

The false 4G thing was in Jan 2011. (Meanwhile, the rest of the world called the same tech HSPA+.)
