#33Reminds me of that Parks and Rec episode where Tom (character) puts a spin on municipal water with fluoride.

4G was supposed to achieve 100mbit peaks and I have yet to see speeds even approaching this with 4G LTE. So if somebody is enforcing advertising rules they're doing a shit job...
LTE's initial iterations were actually not considered 4G by definition. Part of the longterm evolution part was that as the components were upgraded they would comply with 4G. I can break 100mbps down in a few places on an iphone SE with only a cat3 modem, but that's pushing the spec's real-world limit for that. Today these speeds are easily achievable on most networks, it's just unlikely for AT&T due to congestion a…
I was about to say that it was mostly Sprint and (again) AT&T advertising 3G as 4G, and for example Verizon had real 4G from the start.
But now as I think, I remember that Verizon had 4G that was capped to about 1mbps in certain areas and then gradually speed increased per area.

I'm on AT&T (personal phone) and I get 4.5M bits down on LTE. My Verizon LTE (work phone) gets very similar. Both are iPhones and completely up to date. I could be near enough to the towers that my fillings start to ache and I still can't get any faster.
My record with Verizon is 104 down and 35 up. It all seems to depend on how busy the tower is and how good the backhaul is.

I can’t find anything in the Communications Act of 1934 that gives the FCC jurisdiction over marketing practices.
What makes you think the FCC doesn't have jurisdiction over deceptive marketing?
because deceptive marketing is a consumer protection thing the FTC would go after

I can easily get over 100Mbps on LTE, this is what I'm getting now: https://www.speedtest.net/result/a/4793874317
Nice. Can I get this all over Krakow on a tourist Sim?

What makes you think they do?
IANAL, but Truth in Advertising[1] enforcement is a FTC affair, not FCC.
On the other hand, rayiner is, so there a benefit-of-the-doubt element that I'm inclined to respect.
EDIT: ...and I humbly stand corrected.
