Again, the "G" isn't a measurement for speed, it's a measurement for
generations. Each time you change the radio link technology to
something newer, you increment one. In the USA, HSDPA is called 4G. In
most of western Europe, HSDPA is known as 3G, or sometimes 3G+ or
Turbo-3G or similar. It's a fairly worthless marketing term, that's
it.

Or were you referring to some actual speed claims in advertising I've
missed? In that case, my apologies :)
