No. When the first 56K modem came out, it was still too slow by that days. University T1 connection was way better.

AT&T's '5GE' Service No Faster Than LTE From Verizon and T-Mobile

T-Mobile has been just fine. I haven't done a speed comparsion. I've been with them for two years and been to 13 cities and three countries and never not had service.
Well, I guess we know where you stand, Julie Clover. Did Sprint pay you to write this article?
Honestly, who really cares if Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon were to do the same thing? Much to do over nothing.

Ummm ... you really need to sharpen your graph reading skills. Just a friendly FYI. Unless you're being sarcastic, but then you need to tag that, because that's not apparent in your post. Jus sayin'.
AT&T are hurting the future 5G branding for other carriers and will ultimately affect their bottom line. This should be LEGALLY stopped - IMMEDIATELY.
What ever happened to being able to be sued for false advertising? Have American corporations now legislated and bought themselves so much power and control that they are immune to the legal system?!?

Did Juli Clover go to journalism school? Talk about bias:
"Sprint rightly claims that AT&T is confusing customers and damaging the understanding of true 5G, which has the potential to impact Sprint's own 5G launch"
Guess Juli is the judge. (Not that I disagree, but mark this ad an "opinion" or "editorial")

Again this is beta software. Anything goes. Lets revisit this when the final 12.2 is released. I have a feeling it will remain LTE or something more appropriate. Only a small percentage of people run beta. The news is making a big deal out of something that's misleading in beta software. No grounds for a lawsuit or anything.
I was getting 117 Mbps down and 16.6 up while on 5G E in the Phoenix metro area driving on the freeway the other day. I know I have see higher. Though the fake 5G is not where I live yet.
Really? I used to have Sprint to save money but switched to T-Mobile for their global coverage. Before doing so and since doing so I asked several expats for their opinions. If they'd been even half supportive of AT&T I'd have considered it but by far T-Mobile was the better option. I also used to have A&T and their coverage was OK but hidden fees killed it for me.
18 months into a 24 month contract @ $70/month I got pushed onto a student rate @$50. 5 months later I got kicked off the student rate after graduating and my bill rose to $90. When I complained I was told I could cancel and with 1 month left on the 24 original months, I'd only pay $8 in cancellation fees due to proration but they charged me almost $300. I'd had autopay and couldn't cancel payments and they refused to negotiate. AT&T's just unethical to the core.
Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile are all better values and all more ethical companies. AT&T's just a troll not to be fed with your money.
AT&T should just leapfrog everybody with 7Ge, since it’s the road to 7G, which is the road to 6G, and the road to 5G. Bam, AT&T is already two decades ahead with just a spending on marketing. Magic!
I still don’t understand how this is legal in any way.

End what practice it’s beta software? Let’s see what happens when the final is released.
wifi calling isnt voip. If you travel and want voip calling you need a voip app.
Exactly. It’s petty with how much people gripe about this. There’s bigger fish to fry in this world.
Except that Apple isn’t falsely advertising. You buy the product as is or not. No hidden fees and if you don’t like Apple, there is plenty of competition. So not the same thing at all. (But nice try)
There are always bigger fish to fry in this world -- pretty much nothing on the forums like this one would really rise to that level anyway. It doesn't mean that other things can't be wrong and don't deserve to be griped about.
“As should come as no surprise”
“Fake branding”
“Rightly claims”
True, perhaps, but another Clover editorial disguised as MR journalism.
