Last week, the Better Business Bureau's National Advertising Division blasted Verizon for misleading customers with 5G advertisements that exaggerated the scope of the carrier's network - a move triggered by rival AT&T. Today, AT&T is being held accountable for its own misleading 5G marketing, as the BBB has recommended that the carrier stop its controversial "5G Evolution" advertising, which it began in late 2018 to blur the line between 4G and 5G as it began to upgrade its network to newer standards.
