It’s not clickbait. AT&T is pretending to have 5G when it doesn’t. This is worth reporting.

  They’ve done this all the way back to 4G. I know because I used to sell cellphones when I was I college. It was 3G but they called it 4G. They’ve done that with every new iteration. It’s ATT being ATT. Why they haven’t gotten in trouble for this shady practice is beyond me.

    Last time "4G" HSPA was legitimately faster than 4G WiMax but this time they have no excuse (so far).
