AT&T needs some branding help, Improved 4G is NOT 5G

Exactly. HSPA+ is essentially 3.5G, a slightly faster (yet still shitty) 3G. 

How is it shitty? 

I mean with three (UK), I've gotten 33mbps down speeds on HSPA+...which is faster than most 4G speeds from what I've seen :P 

 

Plus HSPA+ from my experience uses less power than 4G/LTE while three's HSPDA/HSPA+ network has better overall coverage than basically all 4G networks so...better coverage as well?

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Here in Canada, LTE coverage is pretty similar to HSPA+ - not quite as wide spread, but pretty close. In addition to that, my LTE speeds are far above what I could get on 3G.

 

With my iPhone 6s, with 3/5 signal, inside a concrete room, I'm getting 56 Mbps download average (spikes into the 60's).
