whatever eric. according to your own source, your wrong. your tmobile fanboyism is blinding you to facts. the fact of the matter is that the ieee said that wimax and lte were on track to the 4g pathway as they were upgradeable to lte plus and wimax v2. h+ had always been advanced 3g and tmobile just started calling it 4g with out permission from the group that sets the standard who decided to stiffle confusion let it slide.

It has however been debated if these first-release versions should be considered as 4G or not. Since the above mentioned first-release versions of Mobile WiMAX and LTE support much less than 1 Gbit/s peak bit rate, they are not fully IMT-Advanced compliant, but are often branded 4G by service providers. On December 6, 2010, ITU-R recognized that these two technologies that do not fulfill the IMT-Advanced requirements, could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced compliant versions. Mobile WiMAX Release 2 (also known as WirelessMAN-Advanced or IEEE 802.16m') and LTE Advanced (LTE-A) are IMT-Advanced compliant backwards compatible versions of the above two systems, standardized during the spring 2011, and promising peak bit rates in the order of 1 Gbit/s. Services are expected in 2013 |
i know thats a lot to read since its not about tmobile, but do you see how they dont even mention hsd/upa+?

In theory 672 Mbit/s is possible, but still not deployed. The fastest 3G-based standard in the CDMA2000 family is the EV-DO Rev. B, which was available in 2010 and offers 15.67 Mbit/s downstreams |
wiki even calls h+ 3g multiple times...
so whats up eric? feeling froggy?
