AFAIK, 4G is a generic term, Fourth generation. This encompasses Mobile Wimax, LTE, the faster LTE Jim mebntioned and one other that escapes me.

LTE is 4G lite, yes?
As I recall, the always-questionable wisdom of the federal government led them to allow carriers to call "4G" something that was far from it. Dumb feds; greedy carriers.
4G is yet to arrive. We're waiting.

> I just mean that with the LTE on my 50 meg download occurs faster than with it off. So. For the average bloke without a computer science degree some layman some normal dude LTE is faster. I realize they are both a form of true or not true 4g, regardless of that when the LTE switch is on my 50 meg download occurs in a fraction of the time than with it off.

As I already said, that is because LTE is faster than standard 3G.
When the LTE switch is On, and you get a good LTE connection, you download at LTE speeds.
When the LTE switch is Off, you download at 3G speeds or slower.
What do you mean when you say "they are both…" above?
You were only discussing LTE.
Your iPhone has 2G, 3G, and LTE available to it. LTE is "4G", as the carriers are calling it, which is a lot slower than the true ITU-4G standard.
