Having read this thread, and noting quite a bit of WiMAX vs LTE discussion, I thought to bring this discussion to the learned members here.
http://androidforums.com/sprint/272829-lte-vs-wimax-charges-control-data.html
It does paint LTE as a very disappointing technology.
Your thoughts?
Woah that's new to me... for once I'm glad I live in Australia not America as I don't think we will have this problem. Not even with a LTE network as it seems to me like it is the carriers who choose. That said it allows entrepreneurs a great way to start a business, offering LTE but without those restrictions etc. I know who I would go with!

after reading what some of the links led me to, this is why tmobile, with all its perceived warts, kicks all of their asses (if you live/use your device in a good tmobile market, ie., ny, philly, etc; im in tampa, where it is pretty damn good)
at the moment, if you have the unlimited data/voice/messaging package with tmobile, there are no "carrier-imposed" limits on content, sites, etc...and with hspa+ getting real-world speeds of anywhere between 4-10 Mbps down and more...well need i say anymore...the **** is fast, and reasonably/competitively priced
verizon, att, sprint and whoever else can keep spending their billions on advertising and pop culture glitz all they want...then they can continue to attract the market of fools who know nothing, and really dont care to know anything about, what theyre really buying (or what their mommy and daddy are buying for them, in reality)
of course, if you dont live in a good tmobile market, then i understand you kinda have to play ball with them
remember, the definition of 4g was changed by the ITU to fit these carriers bull**** marketing of 4g, instead of the other way around, where they should have stopped their misleading advertising in order to fit within the real definition
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#ITU_Requirements_and_4G_wireless_standards
http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-20028622-266.html
4g was supposed to, and did until recently, mean 100Mbps down, not 21 Mbps down
so did the carriers force the ITU to change the definition to fit their marketing crap? or did the ITU change it cause they did a sloppy job of it in the first place?
tmobile isnt completely without some involvement in the marketing non-sense, but it is the best kept secret in the wireless market if you ask me
I want it lol.

+1.... Its a nice way to confuse the regular consumer market and don't understand why the ITU would need to change it other than "help" the telco's marketing department to offer something faster.

verizon's lte, tmobiles hspa+ and sprints wimax are all fundamentally different

tmo and any other carriers using hspa+ are the only ones not talking about usage limits, specific website blocks, and special prices for highly used sites like youtube, etc.

AT&T to Acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom
Provides Fast, Efficient and Certain Solution to Impending Spectrum Exhaust Challenges Facing AT&T and T-Mobile USA in Key Markets Due to Explosive Demand for Mobile Broadband
Enhances Network Capacity, Output and Quality in Near Term for Both Companies' Customers
...
DALLAS & BONN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Deutsche Telekom AG (FWB: DTE) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at approximately $39 billion. The agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.
"This transaction represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand critical infrastructure for our nation's future."
AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile USA provides an optimal combination of network assets to add capacity sooner than any alternative, and it provides an opportunity to improve network quality in the near term for both companies' customers. In addition, it provides a fast, efficient and certain solution to the impending exhaustion of wireless spectrum in some markets, which limits both companies' ability to meet the ongoing explosive demand for mobile broadband.

This is horrible!!!!!!!!!
Bye Bye unlimited data!!!! UGHGHGHGH
Bye bye unlimited, Hello Big Red? ahhh CDMA
AT&T Inc. (T: News ) said it has agreed to acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at about $39 billion. The transaction is expected to close in about 12 months, subject to regulatory approvals, a reverse breakup fee in certain circumstances, and other customary regulatory and other closing conditions.
Hopefully this gets disapproved?

We won't.. it has to go through approval through regulations. I'm hoping it won't be passed/approved.
We should totally start a petition or twitter trend topic on this and voice our opinions on AT&T buying out T-Mobile USA.
Ahh crapola! Makes more sense I guess - than Sprint buying Tmobile (due to the HSPA+), but if this means losing my "unlimited" everything - then, hello Sprint!
I am really worried about the future of the nexus line ...i guess it will go back to only available unsubsidized...ATT hates the android hacking community so I can't see them playing ball on the nexus
i am going to miss being able to afford my phone bill
I must be the only person who thinks this is good news... T-Mobile's data coverage in SLC is so spotty it's almost useless.

Yeah, it sucks that T-Mobile USA is being sold away because without a doubt it's the only carrier that really supports Android development. It has always encouraged it.

Did not see that until after i posted this one in a mix of rage and sorrow.
Mods, please delete this thread, it is just duplicate content
We need to get a petition going to stop this, and maybe even a second one to try to push Google to buy T-Mobile (If they are bent on selling and it was not just a too good to be true offer from AT&T)
I've been a T-Mobile customer for seven or eight years now and have never regretted a moment of it. These people have always gone above and beyond to make me feel like I was worth something to them as a customer and a person. I haven't had to contact them often, but when I did, I always knew I would hang up the phone with a smile on my face. T-Mobile US has one of the best customer service departments in the world in terms of customer satisfaction. If I were planning to commit suicide, I would probably call T-Mobile, since I know they would be able to talk me down.
On the flip side of this is AT&T, with whom I've had some of the worst customer service and just service in general in all of my life. I started out with my first cellular device through Cingular Wireless. I wouldn't say they were the best service (they were far from it), but most of my friends and family were on the network and it was in the early days of the talk for free within the network deals. AT&T came along a few years later and ruined any creditability Cingular Wireless had provided me. When the networks in my area finally were updated to EDGE through AT&T, I immediately began having problems with dropped calls and spastic data rates. Calling to complain about this service garnered me a generic response from them along the lines of "What do you want me to do about it?" The customer should not be the one who suggests that the cellular connection to the tower needs to be reset.
After a full year of waiting out my contract and the remainder of my patience with them, I began searching for an alternative solution. I narrowed down my list to All-Tel and T-Mobile for their outstanding customer service. T-Mobile won me over, since, at the time, I was using my HP iPAQ hw6945 (HTC Sable), and needed a GSM network. Since that day, I have constantly raved about their phenomenal customer service, support and network speed. I was also blown away by their astonishingly competitive pricing.
I am currently paying the same $50 for service that I was when I signed up initially. I have a plan consisting of 1000 minutes a month (unlimited for me), unlimited text, and unlimited data ($30+$10+$10). This data plan also includes tethering for free. I haven't been under a contract with them since the first year I was with them, as it was required. I have never been hassled about updating my terms of service, or anything of the sort. It has been one completely happy ride other than the spotty 3G coverage which has been growing rapidly.
With all of this considered, I must say that I am completely shocked and appalled that the company is being sold off to the only other GSM network in the country with a national footprint: AT&T. Though the transaction isn't completely finalized yet, I see no reason why the FCC would oppose this as the also let Verizon's "Net Neutrality" rules pass, even though they were completely one-sided.
Other than customer service from AT&T (or lack thereof, rather), this also presents yet another problem for the customers of T-Mobile: 4G. We will now be set to move into AT&T's field of using LTE instead of HSPA+ or WiMax for our 4G coverage. For those of you who don't already know, LTE is not the happy trail to the Internet you may think.
The LTE standard was designed with carriers in mind, not consumers. This means that the format allows carriers to control the content they show you. You will begin seeing tiered data plans with access to partial content coming soon as the networks expand. For example, if you decide to get the cheapest data plan, you will not only be limited in maximum data caps, but also certain things like YouTube may be filtered out of your service because you would have to pay extra for it. AT&T and Verizon have already come out and said that this will happen with services like Skype and YouTube. WiMax does none of this as it was intended to be an open format set up with end users in mind. HSPA+ simply doesn't support the concept.
Am I the only one concerned here? I think if this does go through, I'll be booking it over the Sprint. I am not fond of CDMA networks, but it's FAR better than the alternative.

AT&T/T-Mobile US acquisition details
AT&T is taking over T- Mobile.
Well said Cajunflavoredbob. I went through similar experiences that you speak of. Like I said in another thread, after AT&T stuck me hard, I vowed never to give them my business again. Now after hearing this news, I will end up eating my own words!
I have the Touch Pro2 (T-mobile brand) and I really like this phone, especially after the modified ROMs here on this site. I have no intention to get another phone. So now I have to wait until this deal gets finalized and then determine if keeping this phone is worth going through the headaches with AT&T all over again.
All plans will be grandfathered. Also better service coverage too, so I don't think it will be so bad. I hope we can use At&t frequency phones on a T-Mobile service.

Care to share which ones? I looked through this forum and hadn't found a single one talking about the acquisition. If I had, then I wouldn't have started this thread. If there are threads about it in other areas of the site, then there isn't much I can do about that as those threads would be in the wrong place. This thread was started to allow open general discussion of the subject. Obviously, if threads you may be referring to are in device specific forums, then not everyone is going to see them.
I don't know much about the world of mergers except I read that this one will take at least 12 months. Is this a done deal? Or is there something sufficiently monopolistic about it that could run into legal troubles?

The deal could take up to a year to finalize if it is allowed. This acquisition would make AT&T the only nation wide GSM carrier. AT&T is also looking to acquire more radio spectrum from Qualcomm who had those FloTV things for a while that bombed. It still has a lot of red tape to go through, but, honestly, I doubt that it will run into much opposition unfortunately. The other downside to this is that we now know that DT is looking to offload T-Mobile US to the highest bidder. Before this, there was a rumor about Sprint trying to acquire the company. I doubt Sprint can afford the price tag on T-Mobile now that AT&T has set the bar. It is a loose-loose situation for T-Mobile customers. No matter what happens, Big Daddy is still putting up TMoUS for sale. The question now becomes, who will get it in the end?
if this goes through im going to Sprint because i hate AT&T AND dont like the idea of youtube being a premium service on Verizon. but isnt this deal like monopoly. i doubt the US government will allow this too happen without some legal troubles and a lot of money being payed to the government.
The only positive things I can see out of this, are that a) it's a true gsm marriage, which continues to maintain a world flavor to the phone and b) AT&T will have boatload of different bands: 1700, 2100, and whatever AT&T uses. That should free up 4G considerably.
Had T-Mobile and Sprint gotten together, I just can't see the CDMA-GSM thing. What were they going to use, half a sim card?
But I'm old enough to remember the bad AT&T days and can't feel that these will be any better.
Jake
AT&T is not that bad..lol
I have been with T-mobile since the company was Voicestream... Im hurt to see DT sell us out like this I hope google will outbid AT&T because I dont like any of the other cellular providers.

I am very glad to hear someone speak well of AT&T, because my personal experience has not been good. I am convinced that CFB is dead-on with his assessment about why they purchased T-Mobile (his LTE argument). This is NOT even remotely good for the consumer.
I know only one person who has been happy with Sprint (out of dozens), but they seem to be the least restrictive which may force me to give them another try. But they'll probably have the same indoor reception issues Verizon has - CDMA doesn't penetrate walls as well as GSM does. It's kind of funny: we have two groups of people huddled outside the office doors - smokers and Verizons customers.

I read that this morning before leaving for work. It doesn't help to ease my tensions about the acquisition.
Given that it's a Republican, hence laissez faire, House, I can't see them stopping this merger, but the initial political chatter is very much against it. That could be nothing more than posturing for constituents, but for AT&T to take over 80% of the mobile market in one fell swoop, politicians are really going to have to look the other way.
They often do, however,

Everybody needs to take a deep, deep breath and calm down. We're a two cellular carrier household; T-Mobile and AT&T. According to T-Mobile at their home page they addressed several questions one being our current devices and plans and they said they will honor them. For many of us who have been with T-Mobile for example were with two other companies in the SE USA - PowerTel and VoiceStream. It was no secret Deutsch TeleComm had been shopping T-Mobile USA around for quite some time and their statement reflects they will be concentrating with their business in the countries of Germany and other European countries. Current trends suggest AT&T has a 50-50 chance at obtaining T-Mobile USA; however their lobby in Washington is strong and there has been no hint from the Obama administration to curtail this merger as other big name mergers have yet to be turned down. There will be stipulations and this will be watched very carefully. Judging my the speed which this has moved in the past two days, much of the legwork prior to announcement seems to had been done well in advance. Whether we like it or not; we're at the whelm of these companies and they are going to do what is in their best interest and we're all along for the ride; we have a choice whether we like it or not, it's whether there are enough of us after the two companies merge.

It actually not on the Republicans this time. Democrats are the ones fighting for a nation-wide broadband network. This merger would be the basis for that goal. Our president has outlined this several times before. I would not be surprised in the least if AT&T becomes a monopoly...again. It's not that they would look the other way, it's more about will they allow it to happen to further their goal? I'm all for a national broadband infrastructure, but AT&T is NOT the way to achieve that.

Well, more than anything, this is a financial move for DT. They get a payout no matter what happens. If the merger goes through, they will get an 8% stake in AT&T as well as a DT board member on AT&T's board of directors. Even if the deal falls through by some chance, T-Mobile gets $3 billion, a roaming agreement, and a hefty chunk of spectrum for AT&T, just for doing nothing. Either way, DT wins. No matter what, T-Mobile customers loose.

To put it simply.. Sprint is the best provider in my opinion because of two things.
Unlimited LTE data if you're located in a city that has it ( I happen to be)
Google Wallet works out of the box without any ridiculous build.prop edits or hacks
Two reasons I feel make a huge difference and the main reason why I left T-Mobile for Sprint and got this phone.

Verizon Wireless, but only because I still have truly unlimited and unthrottled data with them, where I have used extremely high amounts of data without a peep. I am quite unhappy at their many anti-consumer policies just in the last 18 months alone, and with their GSIII, to be the ONLY carrier in the world to lock the bootloader and not participate in the 50gb Dropbox promo. Unlimited data is all I have to stay with them for now.
Also one bonus is allegedly their variant is global capable, which will be unlocked in a future software update. I wonder exactly which GSM frequencies it would support. Its a shame the Sprint version has an embedded sim, no way to swap it out.
I am with verizon because I have unlimited data but I am thinking about switching to ATT for my purchase of the SGS3. Just getting opinions on carriers to see which is the best. ATT is the only provider that offers some type of 4g in my local area.
there is really no "BEST" provider for this phone. Its all relative to what works best in your area in relation to cost and usage. Everyone is going to have a different opinion based on what works best for them.

"Please keep it related to stock features. This is not about the development aspect."
Coming from someone who has spent years traveling the entire country with two phones, and from every major carrier at one time or another....there is no doubt at all.
Verizon is the way to go. Best coverage, fastest and largest LTE coverage.....they just have all the others beat in service which is all this poll can be about, because if you are only looking at stock devices, the carrier is the only difference.
Price? Who gives a damn if your bill is $130 or $150 a month.....I would take a $20 savings but I am not giving up the best service quality for a little cash every month. You get what you pay for and spotty coverage, slow data, and holes where you can't even talk are not features I want to pay for no matter how much I am saving.
You're going to get all sorts of carrier fanboy answers here, but coming from someone who has used them all, there is no doubt in my mind. Also I have seen far too many people that moved away from the other carriers to Verizon who are blown away by how much better the service is. The proof is in the pudding.

This company piggybacks on Tmo's network.. as far as I know they do not have 4G or HSPDA coverage.. they operate on GSM and UMTS alone from the users I have spoken with. Seems like a decent way to go, especially if your in an urban area with good/great existing Tmo coverage.
