Need some clarification;
You guys, when you say 4G/LTE, do you actually get '4G' or 'LTE' showing on the top status bar and Settings > Cellular? I have no idea how Malaysian telcos classify things. In Singapore (where I live/work) 4G and LTE are the same. Some telcos display '4G' and some display 'LTE', but both are the same performance.
How does it work here? Is it something like the U.S where you get both 4G and LTE on the same network (U.S 4G is actually 3.5G performance, while their LTE is true 4G ... at least for AT&T) or is it just different wording depending on the telco/carrier, like in S'pore?
Just curious because I have a Celcom Xpax prepaid for when I come back to J.B to visit my mum on weekends, and it shows '4G' in the statusbar. Needed to call to activate that, btw. Tried a couple of times and the operator buat-bodoh saying already activate but my area no coverage, so the third time I went to the main Celcom store in J.B town center and called the operator from my phone, telling them I was in the middle of a 4G area and was still getting 3G only. It worked. They opened some "report" (probably bullsh*t) and I got 4G within a couple of hours.
I am with DiGi and the display on my iPhone comes up as "LTE", when available. I've never seen "4G" on a DiGi network, although 3G is quite common!
