Aio Wireless says their Lumia 620 has 4G, can anyone confirm?

[speedtouch]

Aio Wireless, a subsidiary of AT&T, sells the Lumia 620. On their site it says the L620 is 4G/3G capable. As far as I knew, the L620 was 3G capable, not 4G. Can anyone using their Aio-purchased L620 confirm 4G connections?

Here's a link to Aio's L620 page: Lumia 620 - Cyan

Are you talking 4G as in LTE or 4G as in 3G+/HSPA+

I can confirm 4g but it is limited to 8Mbps. This is in my region of northeast Missouri. By the way, the 620 is a little small and slick for my large hands, but the screen is great and the OS is snappy.

My guess is that Aio is referring to HSPA+ as 4G.

Not bad. Is it showing up as a 4G connection in the top left of your phone, or is it showing HSPA+? Oh yeah, the L620 is on the small side, which I prefer. And it is snappy for sure!

Update ur access point and u don't have 4g,, it's not good for 3G connection since 620 don't have support LTE.

I have the AIO 'version' of the Lumia 620. It is only HSPA+, but it still shows a '4G' indicator next to the signal strength. I have a feeling the only difference between the AIO version and the global version is the aio silkscreen logo on the back of the phone and the aio boot screen image.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I figured. One question for you, are you running GDR2 with Nokia Amber firmware on the Aio L620?

Yes

Ah, so it does not have Amber? Too bad. Does it have GDR2 at least? (I suspect not.)

That is a little Tomayto / Tomahto isn't it?

LOL. They call EDGE 4G too? Maybe GPRS as well? Funny no-one's complaining about this kind of BS labelling in the US...

What do you mean?

Instead of having: 3G, HSPA+, and 4G LTE
The instead have: 3G, 4G, and LTE

I mean, you have to have a special name for one or the other...the second route gets the exact same ideas across but with simpler denotation.

You are making me think....what does the phone say when it is 2G/ Edge...I think it is just blank at that point, haha

 

[oryan_dunn]

The only speed indicators I've seen are "E" and "4G". I've not seen "3G".

 

[vartanarsen2]

I have the AIO 620 in the Boston area and can confirm "4G" speeds tin the 3-4 MBS arena...
