Wait, does he think 4G = 4 Gbit/s, and 5G = 5 Gbit/s? If there's talk of 10G well, what about 6/7/8/9G? G is generation. Additionally:

It isn't hard to find out information. A quick search leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced.
- cogman10 5y agoAgreed. This was a hard to understand article because of that note. The author appeared to switch between G as in Gbps and G as in generation multiple times without clarification. Would have been way more clear if they just used Gbits instead of G when they meant Gbits. (or Gen instead of G).

- timbray 5y agoOops haha you're right, "G" has two different meanings in the article. Couple proofreaders missed that too. I think most readers are smart enough to figure out which is meant most times?
