As with all great marketing campaigns, there are two sides to every story. In our case I do believe we are at four sides right now. That could always change. I am waiting for Cricket to ‘jump’ on board and offer a 5G service or something. It looks like T-Mobile very efficiently made changes to the internal employee system to help them combat the inevitable battle with customers asking about LTE and Verizon’s latest claim to “the most advanced 4G network in the World”. It’s a good thing too, from being an ex-employee of the company I can tell you first hand there will be a lot of customers that will want to cancel for that silly statement.
Looks to me like T-Mobile is playing it cool on this one. They will stand behind their marketing campaign of “Americas largest 4G coverage.” They are still on track to cover 200 million people with 4G service before the year ends as compared to Verizon’s 110 million. We will still see improvements to the network next year pushing the theoretical 42Mbps limit. So as usual the ads are more fun for the informed to watch than the average consumer. Take a look below for the leaked screens from TmoNews.

If they were serious about increasing their network, great. If they showed some improvement in their existing network, awesome.
But they don’t. T-Mobile’s claims of theoretical speed is meaningless when they only offer 3G speeds in real world numbers. 21 Mbps theoretical DL speed means nothing if you can only access 4Mbps while moving in and around one of their supposed coverage areas. 42Mbps theoretical DL speed is an utter pipe dream.
HSPDA+ is not 4g. Its like 3.75g
4G LTE is not 4g either its the same as 3.75 G the only carrier which offers 4G is sprint and they still havent unlocked or got to the point of 4G’s max abililty
HSPDA+ is not 4g. Its like 3.75g
When I got to work the other day and saw that on Streamline I was like WTF….oh well…I have to say for where I am currently living T-Mobile is in fact the FASTEST avail…i get an average of 5Mbps…
