AT&T’s 4G Phones Are More Bullshit Than Anybody Else’s

Thedefinition of 4 G is fair loose , to say the least . Every carrier push their own translation . Sprint was first , with WiMax . Then T - Mobile initiate push HSPA+ . Verizon launched LTE , the fastest . And then AT&T startedtossing around “ 4G”as well .

The Dirty Secret of Today ’s 4 G : It ’s Not 4 G

However you want to define 4 K ( or not ) , what is clean , asSascha Segan maneuver out , is that AT&T is presently peddling the worst 4 GB phones of anybody . InPCMag ’s testing , AT&T ’s two “ 4 GiB ” phones , the Atrix and Inspire , are much slower than some of their 3 G phones , like the iPhone 4 and Dell Venue . AT&Tadmitsit ’s on purpose turned off HSUPA on the Atrix - effectively cap the Atrix ’s upload speeds - even while it continues to fight the twist as a 4 G telephone set . ( Not that AT&T is alone inover - bright and under - delivering on 4G. ) And while Moto ’s Xoom on Verizon may only be 4G - adequate to in the future , at least it ’s relatively up front about that fact .

For all the rumblings about the FCC trying to implement and enforce net neutrality , what I ’d have it away to see in the little term — and what seems eminently doable — is some concrete regulations about promised ( or imply ) information speeds and what consumer really see on the other terminal of the pipe . In other words , if AT&T — or anyone — calls a equipment 4 one thousand , it should be delivering specific minimum fair datum f number , as long as web conditions permit it . ( I would n’t expect 4 G to melt my pouch into my flesh sit in the middle of the Super Bowl , for example . )

All in all , it ’s a adorable time to be an AT&T customer , really , with the other side ofAT&T busy instituting data point capson menage broadband user . Ugh . [ PC Mag ]
