Welcome Mikead!
Thanks for joining us today:)
LTE means "Long term Evolution" and for lack of a better description, it is a "version" of 4g. There are other versions I believe but LTE is the fastest of the 4g "versions".

Others may have a better description than my lame one.:p
 
LTE is the only real version of 4G. HSPA and HSPA+, while carriers call them 4G, is actually 3G. Calling HSPA/+ 4G is a lie.

Its not really lying. They were granted permission to term those technologies as 4g. It may not fit the "true" definition of 4g, but thats not how the word is used anymore.

Eh, that's a good point. I've just always had really strong opinions about it. Any more argument from me would be off topic lol
