At this point, it’s looking like few people actually care about T-Mobile’s “4G” network, real or fake. The carrier continues to push its HSPA+ network online and in television commercials as the main selling point versus the competition. Despite its 4G ad campaign, however, T-Mobile shed 318,000 contract customers last quarter while iPhone sales were through the roof. But “the iPhone 4 is a 3G phone,” T-Mobile proclaims in its State of the Smartphone report. “True story. Despite the ‘4’, both the Verizon and AT&T iPhones run on 3G networks,” the carrier adds. We’re not sure when this massive 4G push might start to pay off, but we sure hope it happens soon because the nation’s No.4 carrier is starting to look a bit silly.
