FALSE CLAIMS BY TECH COMPANIES

[MR. SNIFLES]

HOW IS IT THAT COMPANIES CAN BLATANTLY MAKE FALSE CLAIMS IN COMMERCIALS AND NOT GET CALLED ON IT? CELL PHONE COMPANIES ARE THE FIRST THING THAT COME TO MIND. THEY ALL HAVE MADE CLAIMS TO HAVE THE FASTEST 4G NETWORK. SOMEBODY IS LYING. SAYING YOU HAVE FAST 4G IS ONE THING BUT SAYING YOU HAVE THE FASTEST WHEN YOU CLEARLY DON'T IS LYING ISN'T IT?

ALL ARE SAYING THEY HAVE THE WIDEST COVERAGE AREA. ONLY 1 CAN HAVE THE WIDEST SO THE OTHERS ARE LYING RIGHT?

Yep. Voice coverage is fine...3g COVERAGE is good. Speeds are fukkin turtle speed tho...even they newly deployed 4g speeds are abysmal

Since there is not a official gov body to monitor this such as they do in Europe all they need is some random (paid) company backing up their claim with some bs report claiming the result.

AT&T the real king my LTE speeds are

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Sprint speeds like the speeds of all carriers are dependent on location

When I'm in BK my speeds are like 3 Mbps tops but when I'm in the city I hit like 10 in certain spots

BUT THERE ARE LIMITS TO THE TECHNOLOGY

HSPA+ CANNOT COMPETE WITH LTE IN ANY WAY SO HOW CAN TMOBILE SAY THEY HAVE THE FASTEST 4G? THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY FALSE CLAIMS.


U-VERSE CAN'T CLAIM TO HAVE FASTER SPEEDS THAN CABLE. BUT THEY DO IN ALL THE COMMERCIALS.

How has sprint's LTE been in LA?

 

[porque]

wasnt Tmobile claiming the fastest 4g years back when it actually could claim that?

wait isnt Uverse fiber optic? if so then they are faster than cable


as for Tmobile claiming their 4g is faster I guess its cause the other carriers are going by the name LTE

since 4g is not an official term but rather stands for 4th generation

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I forget what the legal term for this kind of marketing speak so that it isn't considered "false advertising".

IT KINDA IS. IT USES FIBER OPTICS BUT NOT ALL THE WAY INTO THE HOME. FIOS IS THE ONLY SERVICE THAT I KNOW OF THAT WILL CARRY FIBER ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR HOME. FIOS POOPS ON EVERYTHING AS FAR AS RESIDENTIAL IS CONCERNED.

Downloads are horrible, but connections and dropped calls are something else.

I had sprint in 02 and had better service than i do now...its like they regressed when acquired Nextel.

Son even around the Evo 4G era it was better than it is now...I honestly don't even feel they should get paid for this bullshyt they call service right now..
