...and not one of them offers 4G...they just call their networks 4G. Seeing polls like this make it very clear why apple does so well.

Where is the % showing "I have no idea what 4G is"? because you know a lot of consumers have no idea on the difference, and will be a good portion of those not caring. That said some of those that think they're all the same won't have a good understanding either!

LTE means you use your data that much faster, since the robbers are charing more for less. they should charge $1.00 Per GB. they would still make millions, since i would be buying a good Terabytle a month lol

How about data cards. that u can buy, ya know, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10GB cards. even on a contract plan. I find an open wifi somewhere, i dont care if its not mine. Im using it. learn to secure your shit.

Im tired of taking it up the ass. from "The Man" (uncle Sam )

Ignorance is bliss. 3g vs 4gLTE is like comparing a VW to a Ferrari. Speed, speed, speed. Most people are ignorant and totally uninformed. Where do they get these people in their polls; back alley or dead end road???
