They do not have 4g and barley have any 3g. There phones are terrible, there coverage is spotty, they have a ton of network outages, and do not have 4g technology hspa+ is 3g! I feel bad for there customers they are going to have a lot of people confused if and when they do actually release 4g. Props to Sprint its Clear tmobile wants to be like you! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

You the one who needs to learn the facts tmobile has everyone confused into thinking they have a faster network then Sprint when they really don't. Sprint has way more 3g coverage then tmobile does! Wimax and Hspa+ have about the same amount of coverage but wimax is faster! But if wimax coverage is spotty hspa+ is even worse! But Sprint has there entire 3g network to fall back on! What good does hspa+ do U! ๐Ÿคจ If its not in your area? ๐Ÿคฃ Sprint's 4g phones have unlimited data on 3g and 4g! tmobile does not they have 5gb cap and u will be throttled! Sprint is leaps and bounds better than tmobile! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

i gotta agree with diamodpro on this one. if anyone every claims to have bad coverage, the first thing out of anybody's mouth around here is "tmobile?" weather or not hspa+ or wimax is fatser doesnt really matter to the average person, either way its fast enough to max out whatever phone you have. and there is no doubt in my mind i would gladly take sprint's 3g coverage over tmobile's. matter of fact, thats why i left tmobile in the first place. great coverage downtown, spotty everywhere else.

Thats my point I think tmobile should focus on expanding there 3g ntwork before the try to cover existing markets with hspa+. What about all the markets that still only have 2g? Tmobile has left most of there customers on edge.

I have to agree on that one.

First off: T-Mobile has made great strides on their 3G network, with coverage for most large markets and additional coverage on their "road runner" interstate network. At this point, their 3G coverage is on-par with AT&T but still behind the CDMA networks (mainly because of roaming agreements between the major CDMA players and independents). It sucks to have T-Mobile in rural areas, but many of their competitors only have 2G coverage in those areas (if at all).

T-Mobile's 3.5G deployment is evolutionary, so they will be reusing the same radio and network infrastructure to do the deployment. So, by definition, they can deploy their 3.5G network much faster than carriers moving to newer technologies (LTE for ...

They do not have 4g and barley


But they do have HSDPA+ and Whole wheat!

Seriously though, if Sprint wants to call their new network 4G and it is running between 8-14MBS then it's Ok for T-Mobile to say their 3G is running at 4G speeds. According to Sprint, it is.

There phones are terrible


Their* Phones are some of the best in the market, they have a stack of great messaging phones, they STARTED the Android revolution and currently have the largest inventory in the U.S.(possibly the world) and are going to be the first in the race for WP7.

there coverage is spotty,


Their* coverage is pretty decent and growing. If it's not right for you though, by a...

Couldn't have responded better myself. Coverage can definitely improve no doubt but in cities and places of more importance such as cities where we do most our business its not subpar and probably better or equal to other carriers in alot of areas, Ive been up to the mountains here in Colorado with full coverage going out west into the mountains where sprint verizon and even att didnt have service in some of these areas.

This whole response just reeks of awesomeness.

PWNAGE squared!

I have service with T-Mobile, and I hardly have any problems with them at all.

The phone selection is top notch (still the only carrier that has UMA technology on their Blackberries), and their price point on plans is actually pretty competitive.

This DiamondPro guy is spreading it so thick that you could fertilize a 100 Acre farm.

By the way...how can one slap a company?

Wouldn't one's hand get tired after the fiftieth person? ๐Ÿคฃ

It's all just marketing buzz. There is NO 4G in the US, that includes Sprint. But from a speed stand point TMo's "4G" is faster than Sprint's "4G." That said, one of the requirements to be 4G is speeds of 100+Mbps.
So, yes. TMo's network is NOT 4G. But the same complaint about this can be levied at Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. They will all use this term to impress the average consumer, none of whom frequent any site like this that would educate them about 4G.

...and watch them get THROWN OUT by the courts.

NO ONE has 100 Mbps downlinks deployed for consumer use ANYWHERE in the world.

4G (scientifically speaking) does not exist ANYWHERE in the real world.

If Sprint or VZW try to pull a false advertising claim against T-mo, they're going to have to admit that LTE and WiMAX (in their present real-world form) are NOT 4G networks either.

The bottom line is that HSPA+ service quality is comparable to LTE and WiMAX deployments in North America, and will continue to be comparable for the next 12 to 18 months.

All three of them are exaggerating for the sake of marketing, why are you picking on T-mobile?

Of course, anyone who's read more then three of your posts on this board knows...

idk man, sounds a lil biased. dont get me wrong here. i am very happy with sprint and even though my contract is up, im probably gonna stick around. T-mobile is just doing what sprint is doing, and when i first heard about clear, i kinda looked the other way. by definition its not even close to true 4G speeds. Its all about marketing what you have and what your competition doesnt. same thing could be seen in the iphone, the droid ( which contrary to common belief was not the first android. see G1) wimax "4G" and so on. Personally i cant wait til LTE and or WiMAx finally hit the speeds they claim are possible. not that it would stop this marketing campign amongst the companies. im sure their agenda of missinformation and bright letters and li...
