AT&T Android Users – You Are Not Connected to a 5G Network!

January 8, 2019

Snake oil has been around for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, promises and deception still surround us every day. The latest example targets AT&T users with phones running the Android operating system. Apparently, AT&T is pushing out an update that changes the cellular connection icon from 4G LTE to 5G E. Shocker, but you won’t believe that the network is not really a 5G network. Some marketing “geniuses” at AT&T think it is totally acceptable to misrepresent the connection as being the next generation technology. The reality is that 5G E is nothing more than a relabeled 4G network. If you are an AT&T customer, don’t think you are “special” by getting access to the latest technology.
