So Is Tmobile the second company to be having 4g? I'm confused... If that's true that should be good seeing as they was late on 3g.

HSPA+ is what you are speaking of and no it's not "4g" even though compared to Sprint's "4g" it is faster. It is a upgrade for 3g. Just much faster.

Does T-Mobile's HSPA+ network offer "4G speeds". Yes, absolutely. In fact, despite being an upgrade to existing "3G" technology, we found that T-Mobile's HSPA+ network was often slightly faster than Sprint's "4G" network. By some measures, it's much faster.

Don't get me wrong I sell both. I like them both.

Clear's price plans are also unlimited. With no soft limit.

Since there is no standard for 4g adopted by the entire industry anything could be called 4g, including HSPA+
