T-Mobile Back on Attack Against AT&T's 5GE Claims

T-Mobile said research it supported found most AT&T customers don’t believe claims that its 5G evolution, or 5GE, service is faster than 4G. T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint objected to the use of the term 5GE (see 1901080024), which AT&T defends (see 1901100018). “There’s nothing real about AT&T’s 5GE, except for the fact that it is really slower than T-Mobile’s very real 4G LTE network,” T-Mobile said Monday. “AT&T customers know something is up. We asked, and nearly 97 percent of the AT&T customers aware of 5GE … said it’s misleading, according to new research conducted with Civic Science. Maybe that’s because it is!” AT&T didn’t comment.
