This shit started with 3g. None of the carriers were even close to supporting 3g, which was designed to support 100mbps.
Tmo and vzw had a modest improvement from 2g even though it was still slow as shit but AT&T simple did nothing and started calling theirs 3g.
One hundred millibits per second? That means it takes ten whole seconds to send a single bit! That's outrageous.
Hey, that is still considered "high-speed" here in Germany!
