  • 4G is faster, and Wimax 4G is way better than LTE!

  • 4G > 3G, and LTE > Wimax!

  • I prefer 4G - I don't care whether it's Wimax or LTE.

  • Eh, I don't notice much difference between 4G and 3G.

  • LTE? Wimax? Who are they?

  • I prefer 3G! There are still too many problem spots with 4G.

  • Wait, there are other 4G types too, like HSPA+! I vote those are better!
