i currently live about 35 minutes from nyc new york. i pretty much get 3g everwhere i travel in ny, though spotty 3g coverage in a few places. The max i’ve clocked is 5.62 mbps and i haven’t tested it in manhattan as yet. Oh, i have a n900 by the way.

[...] with their upcoming HSPA+ network that is expected to cover 185 million people this year. In early trials, some testers reported speeds of 7 Mbps down and over 1 Mbps up, which is about the same range as [...]

exactly, i thought T-Mobile was gonna switch on the new 3G by the end of this year and nothing has yet to happen -___-

So where is this upgrade? Haven’t seen anything yet in South Florida …

Something is going on in the dc area, I just got 906 down and 414 up from speedtest. I have been going 3g edge 3g all day. Might be an fluke, but I have never gotten anything over 400 down before.

@juanito…a G is a step in the wrong direction, that’s for gprs…ie 1g

I work in Sacramento, and live in El Dorado Hills, where there is nothing but Edge. Occasionally it will flash to “G”, but as soon as I hit the browser, it drops instantly to Edge.

While I look forward to increased speeds in Sacramento, I’d really like to at least be able to use our T-Mobile phones at home. Texts take forever to send (frequently failing) and no service inside the house (and often outside the house) is the standard expectation. Sprint and AT&T never had those issues for us. The T-Mobile coverage map shows a minimum of Edge coverage, but in reality, not so much.

I live in Albany.Oregon. All I have is edge on my g1. Every other town around has 3g. It would only take upgrading 1 tower which would put 3g on a large stretch on I-5 also. Granted we are a town of 50000 people who aren’t rich and would love to have great service at a lower price. There is no reason for people to jump to tmob here, but they would if the coverage was right. Bye the way…….My G1 with edge network has very comparable realtime speed to att3g and verizon 3g. The difference is only a matter of a couple seconds. Nothing to make me jump ship just to pay more and sacrifice qualityof customer service.
I really hope T-Mobile starts spending some megabucks to spread 3g love to us who seemingly got put on the back burner. But really no 3g in Cincy?!?! Wtf!

Joliet, IL and where I live is all benefiting from being a Chicago suburb and are benefiting from those upgrades

Move to Joliet, IL
