LTE as far as I am concerned is 4G. hspda+ is not. Even the ieee consider lte 4g. People need to stop saying lte isn't. Find me a wireless network anywhere in the world thats widely spread thats faster.
I rather pay what I'm paying now so long as my service is good. I haven't been impressed by T-Mobile.
Of course, but smart shoppers know the reality and look at the company as a whole before buying into their services, especially something as important as a smart phone (and it's service).
Owning more of anything is a reason to buy a company, be it assets or customers.
Lot of companies buy other companies for their customer base. Look at Microsoft for example buying Skype, and Google buying all these little web sites. They want customers.
Doubt it. It's going to take a while.
No, I actually didn't. I'm just reading them past face value.
It was both.
Yup. More network + more customers = more $$$
Tmobile is getting it late March/early April. With unlimited data plans available as well.
I see a T-mobile in my future too, especially once Apple iPhone finally supports their band / they move towards standard. Their prices are already very good, if they eliminate contract and instead use the 'financing' idea, then it's a no brainer
Like children in a school yard
These two companies are like two children fighting and calling each other names in the school yard. Ridiculous.
Let's get real.....BOTH networks SUCK depending on where you are. That's why we (adults) choose one over the other at different times..... it depends on who can provide service where we live, (and to a lesser extent price).
I wish they would grow up and focus on things that matter....

What about the other 63.7%? Did you forget that the iPhone is not the only phone.

Because I live in Texas... AT&T > T-Mobile
I know this is old, but I switched from T-Mobile to Cingular for better cell phone signal.

ATT never should have attacked them in the first place. They should have taken the high road. They felt threatened and put out their "attack" ads so this is what they get. I wouldn't expect consumers to understand what the reality of the situation is
This is a reminder to all those who think Apple should respond directly to Samsung in their ads why NOT to do that. It will not go well.
I'd like to test them out in my area when they do. It would be nice to do a real test of ATT, Verizon and T-Mo coverage/performance once the 5S is released and return the ones we don't choose.
iPhone, back in 07', and their terrible selection of hardware over the years. That of course has changed for the better now that iPhone is presumingly coming to the network. Not trying to be one sided on the hardware side, just invested in the ecosystem like others.
AT&T is my current provider.
Had T-Mo for nearly 10 years (since voice stream actually), and always liked their CS, and service.

I have AT&T and I'm pretty happy with them. However, I have to say this is a pretty good ad from T-Mobile. Mostly because of the statement 'they must be worried'. I'm surprised more companies don't point out the bleedingly obvious; if a company spend millions of dollars to tell you that their competitor is obviously inferior, then they must not, in fact, believe they are obviously inferior. If they were, there wouldn't be a need to market them! You don't see AT&T making attack ads against small regional carriers. Naturally, because they represent no threat to AT&T!
Didnt T-mobile start it with those stupid ads where they showed how slow your iphone is on AT&T versus T-mobile's 4G network a while back?
I don't think AT&T should have retaliated though, T-mobile is not even on their level in the U.S. they should be focusing on Verizon and treat T-mobile like a nagging little fly who will go away if ignored.
At the end of the day all we should care about is this leading to better network development and lower prices for us....
