jgkolt posted : I switched from a carrier that had 3g to tmobile on the promise that it was coming. 2 years later and I still don't see it. So I switched and stopped complaining about it. I really like tmobile but the 3g footprint was non existent in my area and when it is i am sure it will take a while to propagate out. They are working very hard to expand though.

Its still beyond me why t-mobile would pick a 3g spectrum (1700) that no one in the world uses. Stuck with proprietary phones locked only to them.

When AT&T did their buying of spectrum, 850MHz was used by nobody else either. Slowly more phones have had the band and almost all do.

That's not bad actually. I assumed they wouldn't get the AV up and running for a few years. I thought they'd target the bigger markets first.

Got to get her on there before she ages.

She's aging, but still isn't too hard on the eyes. I just watched The Terminal a few days ago and that came out 5 years ago. Good looking there, but as great looking as in Entrapment.

But prior to today, you didn't even know you were on the list. Gotta look on the positive side. I can only say that as I'm scheduled for Q3. :p

ISurfTooMuch posted : The reason is simple: a lack of bandwidth. In many places, they only have 10 MHz of PCS spectrum, and it takes a minimum of 10 MHz to deploy UMTS/HSDPA, so if they deployed in the PCS band, they'd have to completely turn off GSM, which isn't an option. Therefore, they had to choose another band in which they could get a license. The Euro 2100 MHz 3G band was out because it's already in use for other things, so that meant they'd have to bid on spectrum in an upcoming auction, which just happened to be the AWS auction, which is why they're using that band.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless you know what you're doing.
