Default tmo
So probably not the right forum but also probably something already discussed but I read about tmobile switching to a hspa 7.2 network that is supposed to be faster than current 3g networks offered by any one what exactly is the word on this because last I heard tmo barely has a network you could call 3g.

T-Mobile promised that HSPA 7.2 would be network wide by the end of 2009, but that didn't happen. They did announce yesterday on the 5th that they have met that previously stated promise. You can read about it over at tmonews

AT&T tried to get some press just hours after that by making the same claim. However, like the rest of their press releases it was half true. The software to support those speeds are now 3G network wide for them, but the backbone to actually enable it is not even installed.

So why are these networks looking to switch to HSPA rather then LTE like verizon? Verizon is looking to release LTE by early 2010 hopefully by spring and they have peak speeds of 50-60 mbps completely crushing the speeds of the HPSA.

It's easier to upgrade to HPSA+ than to LTE. T-Mobile doesn't have backbone issues like AT&T does.
