Conclusions
Neither Sprint's nor T-Mobile's fast networks cover more than a few cities yet. But they're definitely worth keeping an eye on. If you feel each carrier's 3G coverage is decent, get a 3G/4G or HSPA+ compatible modem, and it'll grab the higher speeds as they become available nationwide. Sprint's WiMAX may also be an alternative to home DSL if you live in a city with good coverage.
Even though Verizon pledges to introduce their own high-speed technology LTE this year, T-Mobile and Sprint will remain your best bet for maximum mobile speeds for a while . We don't know what devices will support LTE, or what speeds it will have in reality. As you can see from our test results, speed promises are often just words.
hum... seems like ATT won't be "the nations fastest network" for long....02-16-10 01:07 PMLike 0 -

Correct, But since the towers will be flooding the air waves for signal and bandwidth, instead of out phone drying up with thirst they'll be running at full potential. Granted it won't be 7.2meg but it'll be a lot faster than our current state.

That's not what your original post said. Anyway I highly doubt you will see a difference, and especially not for a few years when this new network is up, wider and people have switched to supporting phones, but ok.Correct, But since the towers will be flooding the air waves for signal and bandwidth, instead of out phone drying up with thirst they'll be running at full potential.

DuviRetired ModeratorThe issue still remains that no BB is HSPA+ ready. You realize how long it took RIM to get their first (North American) UMTS 3G device? AT&T will probably have HSPA+ by the time one actually comes out.
AT&T won't be the nation's fastest 3G in certain spots, not much. If you think AT&T's map is bad, find T-mobile's.02-16-10 10:18 PMLike 0 -

He isnt verizon or sprint! he's crap-mobile! Its funny how alot of users who are stuck on tmobile like to talk crap about everyone elses provider. tmobile has outages all the time and they dont even have the the better phones to drain their network! There is a reason tmobile is prolly the cheapest! you pay for what you get.03-19-10 12:16 PMLike 0 -

and were i work we have adon't except much mjneid is very pro t-mo... but yeah t-mo sucks out here period, we a 4 co-workers with all different carriers, all berries and t-mo had no service or one bar while everyone else had 3-4bars, beside everyone knows the experience it's the same for everyone no matter what carrier your with
-9700 (t-mo)
-9000 (ATT)
-9530 (VZW)
-9630 (VZW)
-8310 (Cincinnati Bell)
and i full five bars on 3G where everyone else varies.. and my DL speed tether is faster than any of other three.
I've said several times, and i will find my old post to prove it. Every geological market is different some ATT is the best, some T-Mobile is the best, some VZW is the best.
my entire point of this post was T-Mobile is the first to roll out HSPA+ for GSM networks
