Ok so why call something 4g service when it's really just 3g service. That's lying to customers! We Won't see 4g until 2013 it seems! Kinda makes me want to leave Tmobile!

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.

But yet they call it 4g and throttle you when you go over the really 3g service! Stupid!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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.

not sure if you know or don't know, but even LTE is not considered 4G
true 4G is still far away from any service
all the service providers are advertising 4G but they are all fake, as non of them really meets the 4G specifications
First of all know your facts . Now the person who said late isn't really 4g is right. But on another note in certain areas T-Mobile is just as fast as Verizon and sprint . I get speeds of 15 - 20 mbps. Its all about area that you are in.

True 4g is atleast 100mbps and guess what nobody hits that. Its all bull but yes lte is def faster then hspa+. Only the uneducated think that these bs services are real 4g and sadly not to many people know really just how fast 4g is supposed to be if they did these companys would have a problem
im from phoenix and i get "4G" almost anywhere in the valley, not so much when indoors , but it is kinda fast ...
Ill takes my fake 4G battery life ove LTE!
sent from the Dark §¡3€
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.

We should gather a bunch of people from different areas of Florida that do not have 3G coverage and plan on doing something like that. Maybe when we have 1000 people protesting for the same thing and threatening to leave MetroPCS then they'll do something about it. Again just a thought.

What people fail to realize is if 3g is everywhere your bill will go up and you will have a data cap to cover overages and you will end up with a at&t or Verizon situation the reason why metro is so cheap is because there isn't a 3g if you really want speed upgrade to a 4g phone otherwise be patient until they figure out how much data is being used in major cities and if it's worth the extra costs

It will get better. Now MetroPCS has the LG Esteem 4g it is on their site now so soon they should have to upgrade the system to handle usage. I pay 50 a month with metropcs and i still like it better then the contract companies. Also i read today that sprint is no longer doing one year contracts more folks to metro? never know
Metro is a headache to deal with if you have billing issues, but they're cheap and there's no commitment. That's always nice, but it cuts both ways. They can jack up your price whenever they want.
Contracts aren't solely beneficial to the provider. Sometimes they actually help the customer--I'm on contract for 2 years, for two lines, 1000 shared minutes, unlimited SMS/nights/weekends and 2GB data per device for $100.
It's cheaper than what we were paying for two individual Even More Plus plans (though we did lose 3GB of data). And T-Mobile can't change the price without breaking the contract.
My girlfriend has metro and we live in a city with 3g service. It's super spotty. Even in their most well covered areas, she usually still only gets 1x.

Richmond, VA has 4G.
Sent from my Cyanogen Epic.
The $10 is for "premium data". When I tried to discuss the reason for it with a rep around the time I got my phone she said it was 'because of the amount of data I would be expected to use.' That I was paying for the 'Ease and likelyhood of uploading photos and videos through the phone network.' And 'because of the availability of 4G speeds in select areas.'
Every phone I've ever had has been a smart phone.
I use no more data on average with my Epic than I did with my last two Windows Mobile phones before it. So, I am paying more to do things I (more or less) could already do.
At home I have an AIRAVE. Though I live ~1mile from the nearest tower I typically have no signal or drop calls like crazy without it. I also use WIFI for my internet when at home. Outside of my neighborhood I have no complaints though.
4G is not available within 3hours drive of me. I have used it for a total of 10min since I got my epic at launch. That was at an airport while on a layover.
I cant complain much about my speed... my girlfriend is stuck at 1x because 3G flat out isnt available to her anywhere in my city. But I do pay $30/month more.

Premium Data (required for this device) - $10.00
We require this add-on for phones made to deliver a superior wireless experience including Web, email, video and social networking.
Additional details:
The Premium Data add-on charge is required for smartphones.
Sprint smartphones currently are: Android, BlackBerry, Palm, Instinct and Windows Mobile phones.
On average, smartphone users use 10 times more data than customers with basic or feature phones. With this charge, Smartphone customers will continue to receive unlimited data and experience Sprint’s simplified services and rates, being able to take advantage of a rich data experience while on the Sprint network.
If you would like an unlimited data plan, for a lower rate, and avoid this charge, you may want to check out some of our feature phones which do not require the $10 Premium Data add-on charge.
Yeah, funny my Palm Pre didn't require that fee and they didn't start the fee until 4G phones came and then only applied to 4G phones until the complaints of no 4G came in...I'm just sayin'.....lol.

I agree I'm in Northern Va and it's annoying how in areas like chantilly I almost get 2Mbps but asst home I range from .5 to 1Mbps. I just want a stay 1Mbps wherever I go nothing more and nothing less and I'll be satisfied! Thank God I'm in the DMV area because LTE will definitely come here. And yesterday by Potomac Mills it was so bad that my texts weren't going out! It said they didn't go through but people would receive them late! And it said my signal was -65 dBm!
I've never had an issue by the mall but near Quantico it goes out a little but that's the FBI. So close to 4G but so far away....

We all know it WAS a 4G fee, but it is not one any longer.
I know...just adding how Ludicrous Sprint was with their back-peddling. Was commenting on the wording of the contract not you specifically.

Oh dude i know. This is probably the best camera HTC has ever done, and actually the best one on the market if you include shutter speed and all tht crazy jazz.
This is the only phone ive been so impatient with waiting for it to come out
yeah sprint would have $200 of my money coming may 7th guaranteed... actually feeling a little nostalgic about being in the exact same 4g situation I was when i got my original EVO... maybe its a bit of Stockholm syndrome

If im not mistaken, I think you can still connect to "regular" 4g if LTE isnt available
Or do you just not 4g where you live in general?
Pretty certain there is no wimax (regular 4g) on the new Evo. I've read the 8960 chip can't/doesnt support it. So I don't believe that's an option.

Sprints "regular" 4g is wimax. I'm pretty certain this phone will not support wimax.
