LTE Advanced is a mobile communication standard, formally submitted as a candidate 4G system to ITU-T in late 2009, was approved into ITU, International Telecommunications Union, IMT-Advanced and was finalized by 3GPP in March 2011.[1] It is standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a major enhancement of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard.

The new iPad is 4g. And it's fvcking fast.

"Union Square was by far the prime spot for AT&T; the new iPad showed unreal cellular 4G speed that averaged 30.4Mbps for downloading and around 24.5Mbps for uploading."

In defense of both Verizon and Sprint, these companies began marketing and referring to their wireless networks as 4G before the standards were officially defined. Still, the speed requirements were well known, and the current flavors of LTE and WiMax that Verizon and Sprint are using are not able to fulfill these requirements.

Not sure what LTE Advanced has to do with 4G LTE, they are different standards?

But you can discuss that some more if you like. I have to go clean out the boat.

My iphone says "4G" in the status bar. Suckers!

both of those versions of 4g (wimax and lte) have had a few iterations, and i don't know that any have met every criterion outlined by IMT-Advanced, same as it says in your quote. LTE Advanced is...

Quote:

a major enhancement of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard.

and wimax is soon to go the way of the dodo, in favor of lte.

Quote:

WiMAX has suffered significantly in the past two years as LTE has been adopted by more and more commercial operators around the world,” writes wireless analyst Andy Seybold. “It should be clear to everyone by now that LTE will be the 4G technology of choice for worldwide deployment and that for the first time in many years we are on the verge of moving toward a worldwide standard for data (first) and later voice services. Support for WiMAX has faltered since Intel pulled the plug on its program to make WiMAX a world standard 4G technology and it stopped investing millions of dollars in supporting WiMAX around the world.”

... What's more, Verizon's LTE network bested Sprint's WiMAX network in a speed test run by PC World earlier this year that showed Verizon's LTE laptop air cards provided average download speeds of 6.5Mbps while Sprint's WiMAX services delivered download speeds of between 3M and 6Mbps. While this difference doesn't seem all that drastic, PC World found that Sprint's WiMAX network was not available on a consistent basis, meaning that users who subscribed for 4G services weren't guaranteed to have access to those services wherever they went.

The cool thing about Mac's is that you don't need to adjust the valves. Seriously. You can look it up.
