    I particularly love how when I travel to the states how my 3G 4s on my network in Canada becomes a 4G device in the USA. I can't believe that AT&T is allowed to even do that they specifically requested it to be written into the iOS software. I don't know any other carrier that has done that. I don't even think you can contest it to say well the 4s is sort of 4G. Everyone knows what the most current apple phone is and what is capable of. I don't think you need to lie to the consumer while you are at it

    Actually, carriers in Canada call HSPA+ "4G" too. In fact, Rogers calls LTE "beyond 4G" (http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless_network). I do agree that it is ridiculous that carriers are labeling HSPA+ as 4G though, because it confuses many un-tech-savy people :l

    Also, @ the author of this article, I think you mean "reap the rewards", not "reek the rewards". :p

    Yes, the carriers call their HSPA+ networks as 4G, however they don't take a 3G device and call it 4G because it accesses that network - they leave it for real 4G devices

    I completely agree. If it doesn't use LTE, then don't label it as a 4G device.

    And as always, T-Mobile fails to tell you that they bump you down to EDGE once you hit 200MB of usage.

    Don't you think people could sue for that? Or is that part of getting into a contract?
