Soon. The towers down in Florida are in the process of being upgrades. However, there is no official launch date. Metro learned the hard way that rushing things to meet a deadline results in poor service and years of bad reputation. They'd rather get everything working 100% and THEN announce a deadline, to ensure good performance.

That being said, the 8530 does no have the right Antenna for a 4G signal, as far as I know (though I can't 100% this until I know what band the 4G signal will be on).

Hello all. I have a Metro PCS 8530. Will any upgrade by Metro PCS to their network help current users? I hope that soon we will have browsing speeds at least comparable to the other providers.
