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.

^ Is that true? I thought it depended on the carrier firmware - the updates that you get once in a while when you go to Settings > General > About.
My iPhone 6 is an Australian set. Says 4G both on my Singapore carrier and Celcom. My gf is on the same carrier as me and her iPhone 5s (Singapore set) also says 4G. Another collegue's iPhone 6 (also Singapore set) says LTE, but he's using a different telco from my gf and me.

my 5s , celcom show 4g, my ip6, digi show lte
Like mentioned, its just a "Display Name". Both 4G and LTE are the of the same network and spectrum. It is up to your carrier what it wants to display on your phone. You can even customize it to display your own name but then your phones need to be jailbreaked.
