T-Mobile Rebrands HSPA+ as '4G', Says Its 4G Network Is the Nation's Largest
Initial thoughts on this news
Here are my initial thoughts on this news
1. I feel slightly uneasy about the 4G tag because it isnt under technical terms. However, for all of those who are saying/thinking lawsuits, this has been cleared legally. So I dont think that will be an issue.
2.Even if it isnt technical 4G, it is providing similar (in some cases greater) speeds than Sprint's WIMAX and what Verizon estimates their LTE will initially put out. So from that point of view, from a customers' experience, it is providing "4G speeds".

3. I will be flat out frank. It is stupid to say "Well wait till we get such and such. It will blow T-Mobile away." Well anyone could say that; even T-Mobile can say that ...

While can agree with some of your post, I cannot agree with all of it.
Your #4 point is the one that I truly cannot agree with.
A group sets a standard to reach by initiating certain criteria. This standard is drawn and the building process begins. Whether the criteria is reached overnight or done in incremental stages within a time limit, is what defines the "New" standard. The standard was drawn not Just on speeds, but what advances and tools will be and can be used within this technology. HSPA+ lacks the credentials to reach this continuum. Verizon and the other carriers have been spending a ton of cash to build this technology for deployment and then a group decides to offer their lesser opinion of the standard? It seems to me T-mo...

Well said couldn't agree more. Plus hspa+ IS 3g. Tmobile network is going to crumble underload. Mark my words watch you will see! They have bit off more then they can chew with this one! 😉

I agree with your post. People negate the fact that carriers are giving them better quality services everyday and this is simply another step forward in that latter. Its ironic that the two least expensive carriers of the big 4 are the ones rolling out the higher speed networks the quickest while the fat wallet ones sit on their butts till next year to appease investors, IMHO I think they are the biggest evil and enemy to this industry. I know verizon will be rolling lte but until they roll out official handsets it's all talk, it'll be great when and if all carriers go to LTE, coverage would never be a problem then and carriers would be forced to finally cut costs as roaming agreements would make less expensive carriers a better solution e...

Thank You I could agree more with your post! Most people are riding the tmobile bandwagon because they dont wanna feel left out of the 4g circle. Eventually they will because the truth is going to come out soon just how much teenmobile blows! 🤣
