Columbia, PA | I believe the 9700 is only 3.6Mb capable, at least that's what I've heard about the T-Mo one. My AT&T one can definitely reach faster speeds though.
Do you get 3G T-Mo in Mount Joy? I've wanted to get a data card from T-Mo, but it doesn't look like their 3G would hit me. | |
|
| | | | Re: Wonder... You are correct the 9700 can not exceed 3.6. Not surprising for a Blackberry to be lagging on speed maxes. | |

No 3G here yet in MJ but I work in Lancaster and had 3G coverage for the first time on 12/28. I was told at the corporate store, that all towers in Lancaster should be 3G by the end of 2009. Only 2 towers were lit up when it hit Lancaster in November.

| | | Re: ANd ATT too
AT&T is really something aren't they.
They are only "reactive," when they sense the heat is on.
They have the money and resources to have their entire network at 21 Mbps if they wanted to but they flip flop more than a fish out of water.
First they say they are going to 21 Mbps. Then they say they're going to skip HSPA + and go right for LTE. Then they say they'll have the top 25 markets "7.2 Mbps ready," by the end of 2010.
Now, in almost a knee-jerk reaction to T-Mobile's announcement this AM they come out with this.
Gotta love competition. Makes me think that AT&T sees T-Mobile USA as a real threat more and more each day. | |

1 edit | Re: ANd ATT too It's funny, if you read the article, the backhaul is only in place in a few cities. It's a fluff "me too" press release.
»www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4···id=30358
In addition to the HSPA 7.2 software, initial deployment of backhaul is already underway in the six U.S. cities announced in 2009 as initial HSPA 7.2 markets – Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami, with capabilities being turned up on a site-by-site basis beginning last month. Further backhaul deployment will continue in these markets and begin in additional markets across the nation. We anticipate that the majority of our mobile data traffic will be carried over the expanded fiber-based, HSPA 7.2-capable backhaul by the end of this year, with deployment continuing to expand in 2011. | |
|
| | | | | Re: ANd ATT too Ha! So AT&T is not going to complete their 7.2 HSPA roll-out until 2011?!?!?! Yikes. TMO will have 21 HSPA+ deployed 3G network-wide by then. | |

| | | In all the articles I have read no where does it say T Mobile has increased there back-haul to their new 7.2 towers just that they upgraded the network software. Kind of sounds just like what at&t did but at least they were honest and said all they did was the software to all towers and back-haul in 6 markets. Off all the blogs I have read today about T Mo's upgrade 90% have said they see no difference in speeds. As for the rest thinking T Mo's network is faster, you have the least if any Data centric devices on that network so almost all of the traffic is voice. If you think I am joking At&t has 40 to 50 million data devices on its network. That is 50% more than VZ. Now if VZ has half the devices what do you think T Mo has? All the points I have listed above can be found in stock reports as well as 3rd quarter earnings. And for the guy who said he did not care that his Droid on VZ can't do data and voice at the same time and it can wait till he hangs up, You are so lying or have no clue what you are missing. All a bunch of haters on this site. I bet at&t is the reason why our economy sucks, the war in Iraq and our health care problems.. lol | |

| Re: Seems to be Up and Running here! Wow... that's really impressive! Good job T-Mobile.
Makes my WinMobo's Sprint connection pale in comparison now. T-Mobile's lack of a 3G network had always kept me from switching to the Android phones which I so crave... but this looks promising.
If this turns out to be consistent throughout their network (and their coverage doesn't have any gaping holes in it) then bring it on!
For comparison... my trusty old Sprint speeds on my phone. About the same everywhere I go since 2005.

| Re: SWEET!! Trying it out in Omaha! That's not even what i said.
TM and iWireless are partners. iWireless would NOT have the services they currently do and coverage being one of them if it was NOT for TM. If TM pulled the plug on that agreement iWireless would be the one sinking. NOT TM. TM could also decide to pull the agreement and then charge iWireless customers roaming. That would run iWireless out as well. But i doubt TM would do this; especially since their not ATT or VZ.

 Very Nice!
This was taken on the first floor of my house, deep in the walls with one "bar" of coverage... I'll post another test outdoors later...
Speeds are much better than Verizon and AT&T in this area so far. I don't acknowledge Sprint's existence anymore...

Riverhead, NY | TMO 3G I don't have any friends where I live that have T-Mobile. I now know why...
Looking at pricing and the new Android I figured hey maybe I'll give them a shot.
T-Mobile provides NO voice or data coverage at my house - and it looks to be over a mile in ANY direction before I hit service. Except north/north east.
Apparently if I go north/north east T-Mobile does not have ANY coverage. All the way to the long island sound...
Way to go TMO. I was actually considering dumping AT&T. You failed on your most basic of sales pitches: your (@$!@$% service does not work at my home.
Reminds me of the 90's....I really did not think ANY provider lacked the chunk of service area on LI that TMO did. | |

It looks like they've overlapped their 2g gaps with 3g coverage. In other words, if you have a 3g phone, you should get phone and data service where a 2g phone won't.
Why their "voice" map doesn't show that you should get voice when it's covered by 3g voice is unknown.

| | Cell Backhaul is in pregress......... with the new wireless backhual that's going on now moving all these towers from T1 to Ethernet will finally free up some money to allow these guys to start setting up additional towers for better coverage area. T-mobile spends roughly $1,500 per tower just in T1 costs now imagine that cost split in half.
Just watch over the next year or so there coverage is going to increase exponentially as well as other wireless providers as cell backhaul takes off......................... | |
