Where the hell did you get that map? I assume it’s photo-shopped but if not please inform me.

I spoke with a TMo rep yesterday (very nice) who said it was unlikely because of the recent increases.

This poll seriously lacked an option of “Nothing, I’m happy with my current speed”.

Pay more??
Are you kidding me? Just look at Tmobile 3G map and you have the answer right there,they don´t even offer 3G in a 60% of the country,besides their 3G speed sometimes is just as fast as EDGE.

We already pay more than we used to. When I had my dash I was paying 20/mo then I upgraded to the G1 and got 25/mo. We still have no 3G in Topeka, Ks. Only KC and Wichita have it in Kansas. A little disappointed with the 3G rollout, but I have wifi and OperaMini so I can deal with it.

I moved out of the city and there is no 3G or even EDGE here. So F#CK T-Mobile until they upgrade this area to this decade.

In jacksonville florida, we just got 3g about a month or so ago, and its not much faster than the edge connection on my G1. My edge is around 350 to 500 kbps, and I have never gotten the 3g connection over 850 kbps. that 1.8 cap they say they have now isnt even close to accurate. I think i will go to a TMobile store and test out the connection speed on the MT3G and see what it gets. But no, i wouldnt pay more. Im already paying too much for the crap connection i have.

I’m with scott on this one, if they want us to pay more, then they should at least guarantee the 3G service, I’m in east Orlando, FL and there is no 3G anywhere I daily commute or live, even though the coverage map shows I should have it. I am paying 25 bucks a month for Edge. They owe me too!

I’d be happy even with the current speed if it was a bit stronger signal. And I live in one of the original T-Mobile 3G markets.

I’m still waiting to HAVE 3G… I’m not going to pay more for a faster speed. The way I see it, they owe me!
