Ok but I thought 1900 was EDGE and 1700 was 3g I was under the impression that edge and 3g (wcdma) were two different technoligies but I have no idea behind the theory of either type of network

yourvoiceofreason said: I wasn't going to comment on this, but was it not decided that HSPA+ (tech significantly faster than 3G) could be called 4G? If that is the case, (which I know it is), why do people love to ignore that? People act as if that never happened. That being said, I don't know the answer to the original question and was hoping to read the answer...but oh well.. I do not want to start an argument but is ...

also remember TMO has some of the best prices for service so some other areas may suffer a bit like R&D or advertising so that they can provide better service just a thought i may be wrong
