They’ve done this with every new generation, I’m shocked that they aren’t already advertising 6G
“Comcast is discontinuing its its “Xfinity 10G Network” branding to describe its internet service after a National Advertising Review Board (NARB) panel found that the term could mislead consumers into thinking that Comcast’s cellular and broadband services would offer much faster speeds than current-generation networks.”
Oh, did you forget about the time LTE started rolling out and telcos decided to call HSPA+ (3.5G) 4G? One of these scumbags will start calling it 6G. Marketing teams are full of great ideas. /s
Over a decade ago and this crap still feels like yesterday.
Technically speaking the first LTE specification didn’t meet 4G requirements either, so for a short while you could get two different fake 4Gs.
My foreign friends say this is an American problem and they have been past 5G for quite some time, even up to 8G speeds.
Yeah. Currently at 7G planning to move up to 8G once I get my Neuralink implant.
Anyone else notice that after 5G came out, 4G seems to have slowed to 3G or less? It will sometimes take almost two minutes for a page to load, if at all with 4G status.
Yep.
And 5G is no better.
It all just sucks now. All of it. All the time.
3G was often better and more reliable when it was king than modern tech.
They just put up 5g transponders on the tower that serves me at the beginning of this year. It’s worse than the 4g lte I was getting.
I don’t know what to believe
“was” getting. Both can be true if LTE went downhill after the 5G deployment.
Welcome to the future!
