Employees Pitching 3G as LTE

[tomaskingsley]

The staff at two separate Telus/Koodo/Public kiosks have tried to sell me on the fact that Public's 3G is really LTE, as they have no 3G network. They go on to say that it will display LTE on the phone as proof. And that it will not be throttled in any way. I have voice recordings of the employees at both shops, as I did not believe them and felt like they were duping me. 

Is this accurate? They were so sure of themselves and pressuring me to sign up right at that moment.

My understanding is that the speed is throttled to 3G, but stand to be corrected.
