thats t-mobiles 4g is more widespread than sprints atm? i was told last night that it was.
All they did was beef up their 3G network and not use a "new technology", so yes, it is.
yeah they about the same, but some 4g speeds (even tho is not really 4g) from tmobile re faster then sprint wimax
I have a Dell Streak 7 with tmobile and yes its true...and its fast! I don't have Wimax in my area though for my EVO
I don't have 4G from Sprint, but I do get 3G.
I can't sign up for T-Mobile (or Verizon) where I am even if I wanted to.
sprints 4g is hardly no where, just in SOME major cities

They advertise as the nations largest "4G" network so probably. The confusing thing to me is that AT&T announced that their entire 3G network is now HSPA+, and they have a significantly larger 3G network than T-Mo so shouldn't they have the largest HSPA+/"4G" network? Of course with AT&T comes more users so speeds will be slower anyway (I get 3-5 Mb/s on a iPhone 4 in Brooklyn so you'd get that even with a HSPA+/"4G" phone like the Inspire).
my buddy has the nexus S and his speed crush mine he get 4g speeds on a 3g network while im on a 3g network getting dial up speeds

Truth but now att and T-Mobile are hspa + and all devices are going to come like that, btw I just saw the latest report of the networks reliability (call , sms and data )and Verizon came up on top again, while T-Mobile is the worst ( I got a tmobile phone from my company) and att and sprint almost the same

Recently i have noticed that sprints 3G speeds have dramatically improved.back then i would get 700-800kbps speeds now I'm getting 1-2MBps sppeds here in Miami.Also my 4G speeds have also improved and signal too.

I have the latest PRL, but the "amazing roaming speeds" are because you are running off of Verizon towers when you're roaming.......it has nothing to do with Sprint.
Edit: Also, I don't want to force the phone to roam on Verizon in any way. Hopefully some of whatever you're getting comes my way sooner than later.

Yea im also getting like 5-6mbps down on 4g before it was like 3-3.5
My 3G speeds in Orlando are kinda slow. Roaming or not, they are actually a little slower when roaming. So I just use 4G as often as I possibly can.

MY speeds in Jacksonville (Right along the line of ST Augustine) has increased GREATLY! My speeds went from 50-80 kpbs to 1800-220 kbps DL. And about 10 kbps upload, now 550 (on average). It's great! Beats Verizon's speed @ my house (tested w/ a friend's HTC Eris).

Oh, ok.....I must have misunderstood what you typed earlier.
My max speeds when roaming hit 250 kbps, because when you roam, Verizon only shares their 2G (not 3G) speeds.

Yes indeed VZW 3g is nice. Sprint in Louisiana is horrible...20 kilobit to 50 kilobits for me. Data is useless unless I force roam.
My speeds in Tallahassee were great for about the first 4-6 months of owning the phone, now it's merely decent and there's been no improvement.
I have had my Evo 4G since February and Sprint has yet to announce any new 4G markets. So i was wondering if anyone in the area actually has 4G.

Sprint is upgrading their 3G network in advance of the iPhone launch next week. thisismynext.com had a few articles about it. I think it's both adding towers, and moving voice to a different frequency so data is not so congested.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Its called sprint network vision. Nothing to do with the iPhone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
The timing of the rollout of the network upgrades has everything to do with the iPhone--specifically, with being ready for the heavy additional traffic that will hit their data network as soon as they release the iPhone. Sprint said that specifically in their conference on Friday. Can you imagine the bad press Sprint would get if reviewers compared 3G speeds of the 3 carriers of the iPhone 4S and Sprint was showing <400 kbps?
Ouch I forgot how bad sprint 3g was 5mbps on Tmobile 3g and almost 9 on hspa.

Highest i ever saw on wimax was 10mbps which I can almost hit on good hspa. :/
Sent from my Nexus S MV from the XDA Premium app.
If I had consistant access to 10mbps I would be fine with wimax. There is only one wimax tower near me me and its coverage stops about a mile from my home. Even when I can connect to it I have only seen speeds up to 7mbps, with 5 being the norm. Heck, I would even be fine with that if the coverage was even mediocre. However, the 4g coverage is atrocious around me and is unusable unless you are outside. Sprint has there work cut out for them, i think it will be years before we see any fast, reliable speeds. I just hope metro detroit is one of the first areas they upgrade since they hosed us on the wimax coverage, but I'm not holding my breath as I would think they would start upgrading towers before building new ones. Ill just have to keep taking comfort in the fact that my bill is half as much as it would be on verizon.lol

CDMA EVDO Rev. A is capped at 3.1mbps, on paper. Where GSM 3G is at 7.2mbps. Technically, in good coverage, I should see at least 700kbps on Sprints 3G. Unfortunately for me, Sprints network is horrid.
I tried the NS4G under Sprint's trial (about 5 months ago). I couldn't even watch Slingbox or hardly stream anything due to the slow rev.A CDMA network.
I ran back to my AT&T NS.
I'm sure the network Vision project will bring good things, as will AT&T's (and Verizon's) network upgrades, but Sprint simply is not there yet.
Shame cause I like the way they roll. That and the fact that I had Sprint for many years until the O.G. iPhone came out on AT&T (been with AT&T since then). I've always wanted to return to Sprint, but I just can't given the slow 3G speeds currently. Plus it's nice to use simultaneous data and voice.

Another challenge will be in the confusion brought on by its own definition of 4G. Since 2010, T-Mobile renamed its HSPA+ network--widely considered a 3G technology--its 4G network. With the widespread availability of HSPA+, T-Mobile was able to boast of having the nation's largest 4G network.

Semantics... It is what it is - doesn't matter what you call it.
If you're going to leave a good provider that has good rates for something as petty as that, you've got bigger issues than T-Mobile calling their service 4g...
That's just my opinion though... No offense intended.

lol.... really?
The whole "4g" is just a marketing gimmick, but i don't really care as long as im getting 11500kbps download most of the time, sometime i even get 15000kbps.
It was a big deal before about this basically any company with new technology is consider 4g now. Hspa+ can be 4g if it reached 100 mbs. The network must reach over 100mbs not any phone. Lte isn't consider 4g either but lte-A is considered 4g.
i dont want to be mean or anything but this is really really old news and probably has been posted a million and a half times. no carrier in the world has true LTE Advanced which is set to be "real" 4G. All the current "4G" monikers are just stopgaps until they can implement LTE Advanced or a 4G compliant WiMAX.
I wouldnt quit just because tmo is advertising 4G when it really does not, because you'll be stuck looking for a 4G compliant carrier with nothing to switch to.

That's awesome! I'm with solavei and I can't wait u til T-Mobile let's the smaller companies use LTE. But I'm it complaining much. It's mid here in jersey and I'm about to pull 15Mbps down and 2 up on hspa+. But Lte wouldn't hurt. And for those that are getting better signal with Lte. I think I read an article stating that the coverage will be superior than that of hspa+ even though frequencies are the same. Idk the validity on that though.
