    I’ m really considering jumping to t-mobile from Sprint since they actually have 4G here in South Bend now..I just wish I knew how coverage really was in my area and not just looking at a map coverage.

      Have been using T-Mobile for two years with Nexus 1 and Nexus S.Coverage and network speed is very good in South Bend, Mishawaka, and Elkhart area but weak in southwest Michigan.

    ITS NOT REALLY 4G!

    • jay_max

      No one has real 4G right now, and I never see you making that point on a story about Verizon’s implementation of a non-4G variety of LTE… you sound like a broken record…

    21MBPS, realistic speeds of 5-12. WTF? It’s not 21, why do they call it their 21 HSPA? I bet all the TMO execs tell their girl friends the 8 inches, truth be told they are more like 4.5

      Obviously you have no clue how they come up with those numbers so I’ll just let you look stupid. When you have some intelligence to bring here, maybe then we’ll talk.

      • BDUS

        I do know KCRic, that’s my point. It makes no sense to have a 21MBPS network that can’t support its claims. Why do you think clearwire is being sued? From false speed claims, throttling etc… You must work for tmo and are trying to defend their sub par network. SO you can look stupid for supporting a sham based network that cannot deliver on their fake 4G network.

    • bigbudha

      all the carriers have fake 4g.

  • ilovetacosdoyou?

    What are they going to call LTE when they launch it, 5g? FAIL.

    HTC G2 in Seattle: I have maybe once broke 5 Mbps using speedtest. Usually see ~3..25 down and ~1.5 up.

      I’m in Seattle using a myTouch 4G, just ran speedtest 5 times: 4.84, 7.67, 6.37, 5.94, 6.10
