Iphone 4 and tmobile g2 question....plz reply :)

Whether you think T-Mobile's HSPA+ is "fake" 4G or not, it's actually faster than Sprint's 4G network. T-Mobile is not joking around.

And just wanted to add this fact: Sprint's WiMax isn't 4G either and neither is LTE.

 

An average consumer would give a crap about whether your coverage is 4G or not. They would care about coverage and how fast it is. T-mobile HSPA+ is indeed very fast, but what about coverage and phone selections? T-mobile has lower monthly plans than other carriers, but they are still number 4 carrier in the US for a reason.

From where I live, T-mobile gets ****** reception. With my AT&T iPhone 4, I get 5MB down and 2MB up. I am pretty satisfied with that. Besides, I don't like either G2 or Vibrant on t-Mobile. I would be more leaning towards to Epic 4G or Droid X. It all comes down to your preferences.

 

To be honest...
T-mobile has like what 30 million customers?
AT&T and Verizon has like what.. over 92 million customers on each carriers. You have to consider the bandwidth...
With that many customers around the tower, it is inevitable that your data speeds will slow down.

 

As of this post, T-Mobile has the fastest data speeds in markets where they have HSPA+ available.

Ignoring the rivalry between you and your brother... you should realize that neither your phone, nor your network are the most advanced devices out there.

If you like iOS, then you should be happy with it. iPhone is one of the better phones out there. If you need to have the latest, the greatest, and the fastest... then you're using the wrong phone and you're on the wrong network.

To quote a comic:
"Everything is amazing and no one is satisfied!"

 

I'd say its all relative as to your location.

Sure, 4G is faster than 3G. And T-Mobile isn't playing around. They're going to use this speed to gain an advantage over the likes of AT&T.
This is where the "but" comes in.

BUT.....that 4G is only available in a very limited amount of locations. It goes back to that Verizon 3G vs AT&T 3G maps thing.

I'm in Dallas. Great 3G speeds. Go north about 50 miles, Tmobile would barely get edge probably.

 

you said it right there, 21m/s one time....

i tether my sprint 3g connection frequently, one time i was downloading a file at 60m/s (!!),
however, one time and one time only did this happen, rarely do i see more than 8 or 9m/s if i have to download something with the phone as a connection..
