Is T-Mobile's HSPA+ really as fast as 4G WiMax? Review

While the carrier was once content to advertise itself as the "nation's fastest 3G network" with its upgrade to HSPA+ technology earlier this year, it might as well be advertising the world's largest cassette tape collection. It seems 4G has become the buzzword of 2010, and while nothing about T-Mobile's HSPA+ networks fits the technical definition of a 4G technology, T-Mobile threw reference books to the wind on Wednesday by claiming it has the largest 4G network in the nation. Needless to say, the semantic stretch has lead competitors and pedantic nerds alike to wring their hands over the technical faux pas.
