Marco Arment:
I can confirm: my AT&T iPhone shows “4G” now, and I just benchmarked the connnection at a blazing 0.63 Mbps down and 0.07 Mbps up.
Yeah, that is total bullshit. AT&T has been doing this on Android phones for months, but Apple had been keeping it real — 3G label only. Now it looks like Apple caved and let AT&T call their really shitty 3G service “4G” in iOS 5.1.
I am disappoint. Total crap.
I am seeing far different results. While I agree it isn’t true 4G I am getting 4.43Mbps/1.14Mbps on my iPhone 4S. Much better than the 0.69Mbps/0.30Mbps on a Verizon 3G ipad

It’s always been shitty 3G on every single carrier. Not just AT&T. You can’t get real 4G in the USA from any carrier.
