    No love for Oklahoma in this announcement.   Then again, T-Mobile’s version of 4G doesn’t even cover all of either Oklahoma City or Tulsa.   NO other cities or towns.  And neither does their 3G.   They offer great 1G coverage over pretty much the entire state but have made virtually no investment in either 3G or 4G here.    Oh well.  

    And before someone pipes up and says “Who cares, you live in a backwater middle of nowhere state, let me add that two regional cell phone providers, Pioneer Cellular’s entire CDMA system is 3G already, and CellularOne whose entire GSM system should be entirely 3G by the end of the year, operate here.

    Finally, San Diego. Just tested and oh boy it’s a strange feeling, I tell you, to get faster download and upload speeds by staying disconnected from my home WiFi provider, Cox Cable.

    Why are they continuing to expand when AT&T is just going to dismantle it all?

      Maybe they finally realized the merger wasn’t going to happen.

      • Richard A Irwin Jr

        becacuse CPT Stupid, they need to keep operating as a seperate company just incase the merger dosent happen, and thus causing all their customers to leave since they chose to stall upgrades that have allready been long overdue while they waited to get bough up.
