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

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.
