Yeah, they FINALLY got up to 4G, where everybody else has been for two
years!

Not everybody. 4G is still a little spotty.

Everybody, AT&T, Verizon, TMobile, Sprint all have 4G coverage. Apple
didn't until now have a phone capable of 4G.

More than a little spotty.

If you don't live in one of those green dots, even with "America's largest" 4G network, you're out of luck.

Personally, 3G is sufficient for anything I need, so my iPhone 4 is just fine for now. Most of my data use is when I'm around WiFi anyway.

I was talking about people. I thought you were too. Choose your words
more carefully.

When we hook up the sprint "bug" to surf the net we turn it off and
restart if we get 4G... It sucks, period... at least around here.

Learn to comprehend. The subject in the original post was about
APPLE....

You'd rather use slower 3G than faster 4G? Figures.

You're letting your non-engineer, non-technical side show again.

The touted speeds of 3G and 4G networks are a theoretical maximum. In the real world, the actual speed you acheive varies based on many factors such as signal strength, cell site load factor, etc.

It's completely plausible that Scot is near a 3G tower but on the fringe of a 4G tower, so he gets much better data rates with 3G.

I suppose you'd just make sure the display said "4G", no matter what the results?
