2. Now as far s T-Mobiles, "Blazing 4g speeds", have you ever seen on a T-Mobile phone it say 4G? Probably not, infact you have most likely seen it say H+, which is not 4G. T-Mobile’s “4G†is based on a 3G standard called HSPA+ that T-Mobile has been deploying in roughly the 100 largest metro areas in the US. HSPA+ is basically a backhall of the 4g network. T-Mobile does have some 4g areas planted, but not nearly what you think. That goes for every carrier. The 4g network is more of a marketing gimmick using 3.5g technology and working on 4g currently. AT&T's plans based on research look to be, to use T-Mobiles network to launch their 4g network as not to hinder any of their 3g nework. This being the case means that if a 4g tower were to go down, 3g towers using HSPA+ would still be functional thus you wouldn't notice much slowing on the Internet or lack of voice services.
