What AT&T introduced as 4G wasn't technically 4G, it was really 3.5G they used their HBPA+ protacall & called it 4G. LTE is technically what is considered 4G... Instead of just calling it 4G the cell companies seem to feel the need to add the LTE to it to make it sound so much better. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Baracco To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 00:47 Subject: Re: AT&T, 4G and LTE
They’re different. LTE is the fastest cellular connection you can get, but it’s not available everywhere, so as you travel you may shuttle between 4G and LTE coverage. Andy From: Tom Lange Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 9:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: AT&T, 4G and LTE Hi all, especially AT&T users with an iPhone 5 or higher, This may seem like a stupid question, but I always tell my students that the only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked. So here goes. I've used an iPhone 4 on AT&T for 2 and a half years with either wi-fi or 3g, and now that I've had my 5S on AT&T for a couple of weeks now, I'm curious about something. When I'm not connected to wi-fi and am out and about, sometimes my status bar will say 4g, and other times it will say LTE. Is there a difference between the two? What's 4g all about versus LTE, and why would I see one versus the other? Thanks, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
