 | Agreed completely. Marketing departments at these telco companies has never been "called out" on their bullshit so why would anyone start now? SOSDD. |
|
 1 edit | It's interesting to see! I remember a couple of years (like 5) ago when T-Mo had no mobile data footprint whatsoever. Not even edge while the VZs and FONs already had EvDO up and running.
Obviously T-Mo does not have the customer base of the other 3, nor the coverage of its competitors, but nonetheless in those cities where they do operate I'm sure their customers are very happy campers. |

| Hmmmm? I agree that having 12mbps just pushes you to the cap faster but my concern would be the service. I had T-Mobile and AT&T and they were both very inconsistent. AT&T is launching Netflix while you can't really catch much of a signal or make a phone call and T-Mobile is launching "4G" while they have pretty limited service and resources in most places. These companies should really get towers galore out first before they bog down the stretched ones they have now. Just makes sense for the customer. Good luck...... |

Re: Nothing to say because it's true said by Gbcue:AT&T has nothing to say because what T-Mobile is saying is true; HSPA+ speeds on T-Mobile are faster than those of AT&T's. True, but T-Mobile coverage is piss poor.
I'd rather have slower speeds and coverage instead of faster speeds and no coverage. |

 jgkoltPremium join:2004-02-21 Lakewood, OH | I have actually had really good coverage with T-Mobile. I think coverage really depends on the area you are in as a representation of the small area were you live is not necessarily representative of the whole coverage available. |

Re: Hmmmm? The genius of this is continuing infrastructure deployment that software upgrades to 4G. It's a win/win. |
