Today, the National Advertising Review Board is recommending that AT&T stop using its 5G Evolution branding, due to the fact that it's not 5G at all, and it might confuse customers.

Announced almost a year ago, AT&T's 5G Evolution network isn't just plain old 4G LTE, but it's actually slower than the 4G LTE services that are provided by competitors Verizon and T-Mobile.
The two networks seem to be in for a legal kerfuffle over AT&T's recent decision to start showing off what is its 4G LTE network as 5G Evolution (5GE) on both Android and iPhone handsets.
After Apple released the second iOS 12.2 beta today, some users with AT&T devices started noticing that their iPhone now displays AT&T's fake 5G logo, which is known as 5G Evolution.
In the latest way that history is repeating itself, AT&T will be branding 4G LTE phones as 5G E (5G Evolution), similar to what it did with HSPA+ phones and 4G just a few years ago.
AT&T announced this week that it has begun rolling out its new 4G service called 5G Evolution, which has nothing to do with 5G at all, in Indianapolis, which is in addition to Austin.
Remember when T-Mobile referred to its HSPA+ network as "4G"? AT&T is now branding network upgrades using 4G LTE technologies - which carriers like T-Mo launched last year - as "5G Evolution".
