Note 9 Att 5g E ?

[bassplayrguy]

I don't have the 5G E logo on my Note 9 yet but I've been seeing some very fast speeds in some areas here in Denver. The highest download speed I got was 211Mbps.

That's awesome!!! Nothing quite that fast here in Indianapolis. I'll be in Colorado springs in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to taking some mountain pics with this phone!

Some AT&T users who have installed the new iOS 12.2 beta are noticing their iPhones displaying a '5G E' connection to AT&T's network, which is AT&T's misleading name for an "upgraded" version of 4G LTE.

AT&T began rolling out its fake 5G icon to Android smartphones in early January, and it now appears the change is extending to the iPhone.

Devices in certain areas are displaying a "5G E" icon instead of LTE, but as the "E" suggests, this is not real 5G. No iPhone that exists right now is capable of connecting to a 5G network, nor is AT&T's network 5G at this time.

It's actually faster than lte in many areas. It's not true 5g but it's free and faster. Why complain about.

It's still LTE. Not anything close to 5G.

Yes, faster LTE. And it's FREE. #WINNING #5GE

I guess at least the 5GE is just not replacing the 4GLTE symbol and I guess the phone is detecting and doing something different? In the financial district in Manhattan, I get 5GE, but going to midtown east side, I get the usual 4GLTE. Didn't get a chance to compare speeds but it's just a crap shoot. Congestion during times - it's hard to say what is the normal speed you should be getting.

My real question is why is the 5GE and the "new" 4GLTE symbols seem so tiny - like it's subscript. It has all that space above the symbols.

I have 5G E after pie? What's this about lol

It's AT&T's fake 5G bull****.

 

[bassplayrguy]

I like the extra speed. It's actual pretty cool.

It's AT&T's fake 5G bull****.

So it's 4GE+ or something. It uses 4x4 but putting "5" in there ? A mockery of jargon. When 1024 was too confusing because binary was beyond consumers and we got 1GB = 1000 instead.

Yes it's nice. But still stupid.
