Default T-Mobile BOASTING largest 4G network in the USA

http://bit.ly/biE6XQ

Quote:
Today, T-Mobile announced their super-fast mobile broadband network has expanded to more than 85 million Americans (more than Sprint’s 4G). The new HSPA+ network offers max download speeds, 21 Mbps, that are double Sprint’s 4G WiMAX and the technology is also backwards compatible with 16 of T-Mobile’s current 3G devices, which includes their entire Android lineup.

The newest markets to gain HSPA+ include Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Waco, Texas; Baltimore, Md.; Baton Rouge and Lafayette, La.; Birmingham, Ala.; Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton, Ohio; Ft. Lauderdale and Jacksonville, Fla.; Greenville, S.C.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Indianapolis, Ind.; Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Portland, Ore.; and Wichita, Kan.

By the end of the year, T-Mobile plans to double their HSPA+ footprint to cover 100 major metropolitan areas, covering 185 million people. To see if your city is on the list visit T-Mobile’s coverage map > Click the HSPA+ & 3G tab > Scroll down and click ‘See cities with HSPA+’

Later this summer, T-Mobile will unveil their first HSPA+ handset which can take advantage of the faster speeds offered by the network upgrade. We believe this will be the HTC Vanguard that was scheduled to launch on September 9th, according to the leaked T-Mobile roadmap. More details should be available in the coming weeks.

Well, VZW and ATT haven't yet put up 4G and Sprint's 4G footprint is beyond pitiful. Soooo (for now) T-Mobile can make these claims.

Tell me about it. I'm seeing tons of ads for att, vzw and even Sprint!! All over the place...I'm lucky if I see a tmo ad more than once a week. BTW, I usually just watch primetime stuff, so I'm viewing one of the past times for advertisements.

How can anyone subscribe to T-Mobile if they don't even know about it? Haha.

Why should they go out of business? They are making a profit and they are backed by one of the largest cellphone carriers in the world.

Isn't HSPA+ 3.5G or something? Thus far, T-Mobile is calling it 4G.

I believe so, something about being release 7, as opposed to LTE (release 8). It does however have the potential to become 4G. So I guess it'd be 4G in the making instead XD.
