Does 4G exist?

Been hearing this and that about "4G".

Companies love to advertise about it but some articulates like these say otherwise?

Anyone know the truth?

(Be aware advertising 4G exist does not mean 4G exist, people can lie)

finished halp.

I heard the whole island of singapore is gonna be exclusively 4G in 2015 and the government is working on it(including fibre broadband ) so i guess its real.

Lol, I love the Best Buy commercial.

ALL ABOARD DA 5G!

Short answer from a telecom employee; No. It does not in fact really truly exist... yet.

Everything labeled 4G today is "expected" to conform to the next standard but really is more of a "may conform to if it goes the way we think it will".

Thanks eos. I was wondering the same thing myself.

This. Adding to this, the "4G" today is actually only in a select few cities at this time. Also, this "4G" is only in small parts of those locations.

Surprisingly, I'm in Rochester which was selected as one of the 38(I think) cities initially chosen. I plan on upgrading soon to one of the 4G phones. Also, LTE (Verizon's 4G) is what is heavily being looked at as the standard for 4G, from what I understand. I could be wrong about the LTE.
