4G is gigabit the problem is the users don't exist in a void where they have their own cell tower and also don't all have expensive devices and also radio interference exists cause of the sun, etc. Same with WiFi.
HSPA+ is not 4G. It has a max theoretical throughput of 168Mbit. It was sold as 4G. Same with Wimax and earlier LTE implementations.
