AT&T Details Pledge to Improve NYC and SF Coverage
won't last
It's all about perception. They are never going to have the reputation that Verizon has, but at least now they appear to be doing something.
Verizon is at least 1yr ahead of ATT w/4G, and Sprint/Clearwire is at least 2yrs ahead of ATT w/4G.
ATT's CEO & CTO are full of procrastination, and lack vision.
Second, it doesn't matter what network you're broadcasting under- it all comes down to backhaul, and AT&T will have more backhaul capacity than any other network at this point.
2.1mbps on ATT in Chicago. I get a measly
900kbps-1.1mbps here in Las Vegas.
But if all your getting is a measly 2mbps with Clear then you should call customer service, they consider that to be under performing.
I've gotten speeds of
8/12mbps before with Clear.
Do you know WHEN Tmo is going to be more aggressive with this HSPA+ deployment? Like more cities and markets?
Here is a little article that I found on PCmagazine.com and what they had to say about T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.
HSPA+, the technology that T-Mobile will use to increase network performance in 2010. A tech blogger and PC World recently test drove HSPA+ and liked what they saw. Clearwire’s rep did not.
“PCMag sent our managing editor for mobile, Sascha Segan, down to Philly to do some bandwidth testing. He found that HSPA+ could go toe-to-toe with a 4G network.â€Â
“I found it to be much faster than Verizon's and Sprint's 3G networks, and even sometimes faster than W...

I hope the Las Vegas market INCLUDING Henderson & Boulder City will be upgraded to HSPA+ soon. Maybe if Tmo gets an Android smartphone that is comparable to the Nexus One + slideout keyboard I will join Tmo!!!
Especially considering there isn't an extra charge for tethering!!!!
Thanks for the info!
Let the speed wars begin!!!
Man, Tmo needs to give Las Vegas some of this HSP+ love.
I use my Nokia N95 as a wifi hotspot, and my phone gets hot, sometimes too hot to touch!
Does your Cliq get hot?
Also, I HAVE to keep it plugged in while tethering, otherwise my phone will die way, way fast.
Is your Cliq the same way? Do you have to keep in plugged in while using it as a modem?

Landline will become the big push again and then it will still suck. NYC and SF are only 2 areas in the US. Good luck at&t with the rest of everything and getting stomped by everyone's else 4G network.
What 4g network, the one that has a few blocks in Baltimore and Philadelphia??? I bet within weeks of lte deployment VZW will have greater coverage then Clear/Sprint on Wimax, and the same with AT&T soon there after.
Clear har a whole lot more markets than you think.
For most of ATT 2mbps is still nothing but a dream.
Verizon is at least 1yr ahead of ATT w/4G, and Sprint/Clearwire is at least 2yrs ahead of ATT w/4G.
ATT's CEO & CTO are full of procrastination, and lack vision.
That this is the same clear that put out this new 4G technology to "leap" ahead of the competition and keep themselves from going out of business BUT forgot to make sure they had some handsets to be able to use this new service with OTHER than a data card 😲 ...i mean seriously you can blow all the smoke you want about how much you love clear and think att sucks but the fact of the matter is that like previously stated someone was enjoying 6-7 mbps from t-mobile because tmobile was smart...
