Oh, did you forget about the time LTE started rolling out and telcos decided to call HSPA+ (3.5G) 4G? One of these scumbags will start calling it 6G. Marketing teams are full of great ideas. /s
“Comcast is discontinuing its its “Xfinity 10G Network” branding to describe its internet service after a National Advertising Review Board (NARB) panel found that the term could mislead consumers into thinking that Comcast’s cellular and broadband services would offer much faster speeds than current-generation networks.”
They’ve done this with every new generation, I’m shocked that they aren’t already advertising 6G

Technically speaking the first LTE specification didn’t meet 4G requirements either, so for a short while you could get two different fake 4Gs.
Over a decade ago and this crap still feels like yesterday.
