OpenSignal: AT&T's “5G E” phones get average speeds of 28.8Mbps, compared to T-Mobile's 29.4Mbps and Verizon's 29.9Mbps which use similar 4G LTE-Advanced tech
but it's not 5G Rich Woods / Neowin : AT&T's fake 5G network isn't as fast as competitors' 4G, since it's 4G Buster Hein / Cult of Mac : AT&T's ‘5G E’ speeds are slower than LTE on other networks Antonio Villas-Boas / Business Insider : AT&T's controversial ‘5G E’ network is actually slower than existing LTE networks operated … Juli Clover / MacRumors : AT&T's ‘5GE’ Service No Faster Than LTE From Verizon and T-Mobile Sam Rutherford / Gizmodo : AT&T's Bogus ‘5G E’ Service Loses in Speed Tests Against Other Networks Scott Bicheno / Telecoms.com : Turns out AT&T's 5G E is just LTE-A after all Doug Lynch / XDA Developers : Study finds AT&T's 5G E slower than T-Mobile and Verizon's 4G Mike Dano / Light Reading : These Carriers Are All Faster Than AT&T's 5G E Chris Davies / SlashGear : AT&T 5G E isn't just misleading, it's actually slower than rivals Evan Selleck / iPhone Hacks : New Study Shows AT&T's ‘5G E’ Isn't All That Great Compared to What Other Carriers Offer Kellen / Droid Life : The 5GE Logo on Your AT&T Phone Does Not Mean Faster Speeds Than Verizon or T-Mobile Jared Newman / Fast Company : AT&T's fake 5G is slower than rivals' real 4G C.

Randall Stephenson: “Let's call it 5G” AT&T staffer: “But it's not 5G, sir, it's LTE” Randall: “Just add a letter to the end of it, no one will know the difference!” http://venturebeat.com/... Olivier Blanchard / @oablanchard : Yes, I am going to keep bringing this up all day. Too many people have worked way too hard on making 5G a reality for billions of users around the world for unscrupulous hacks to undermine consumer trust in it. If you do stuff like this, you will be busted. http://twitter.com/... Ignacio Contreras / @ignaciotechie : Analysis from @opensignal finally adds substance to the 5Ge debate. In short... it is no different than LTE Advanced Pro. It performs better than older revisions of LTE. It performs just like other LTE Advanced Pro networks and devices. http://www.opensignal.com/... M.G. Siegler / @mgsiegler : I've finally got it: it's the evolution of AT&T's old Edge network — now that they've moved everyone to 3G and “4G” and LTE, Edge is faster than LTE. So naturally they christen it “5G”. http://twitter.com/... Dieter Bohn / @backlon : HAHAHAHA of COURSE http://twitter.com/...
