    rumor has it that AT&T is skipping straight to the '5G' network. Idk how they could just skip right by the 4th generation... Not only that but I live in Northwest Indiana and AT&T has been installing fiber in southern Indiana and using there competitor Verizon's 3g network on their laptops because they are just now putting the fiber to run 3g down there.

    There is absolutely nothing credible...or even possible...in what you just wrote.



    1. AT&T is on the record many times saying they will be transitioning to LTE. Also...there is no "5G" standard, and there won't be for probably another decade.



    2. Verizon's 3G is very different from AT&T's 3G - and the two are no compatible. Their laptop devices would not work on Verizon's network.

    This shows that both Ericsson and Huawei has deployable products that works with the LTE modems that are sold in Sweden as I'm writing this. LTE is alive and kicking, showing 80Mbps in the downlink already!



    Also read an article about a guy testing the stockholm network with a simple network measurement tool online which showed latencies as low as 32ms.. That is nice.



    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.



    How many times have people been fooled by idiotic speed claims?



    American carriers are the only ones that will give you an honest answer to their download speed claims. Verizon promises LTE to be 5-12 mbps download speed.

    TeliaSonera promises 50 mbps LTE and then give you something vastly slower (no more than 12 mbps).
