yes, agreed, it's all about marketing. The common person only looks at numbers and fancy letters. 3g, 4g, ETC. Then here comes LTE, wow, something new and exciting when it's 4g, or what should be technically called 4g. Go figure.

What AT&T introduced as 4G wasn't technically 4G, it was really 3.5G
they used their HBPA+ protacall & called it 4G. LTE is technically what
is considered 4G... Instead of just calling it 4G the cell companies
seem to feel the need to add the LTE to it to make it sound so much better.

    They’re different. LTE is the fastest cellular connection you can
    get, but it’s not available everywhere, so as you travel you may
    shuttle between 4G and LTE coverage.

    *Subject:* AT&T, 4G and LTE
    Hi all, especially AT&T users with an iPhone 5 or higher,
    This may seem like a stupid question, but I always tell my students
    that the only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked. So
    here goes.  I've used an iPhone 4 on AT&T for 2 and a half years
    with either wi-fi or 3g, and now that I've had my 5S on AT&T for a
    couple of weeks now, I'm curious about something.  When I'm not
    connected to wi-fi and am out and about, sometimes my status bar
    will say 4g, and other times it will say LTE.  Is there a difference
    between the two? What's 4g all about versus LTE, and why would I see
    one versus the other?
    Thanks,
    Tom
