Well, I am in Albany, Ga right now to enjoy Thanksgiving with the family, and guess what? Nope. No EDGE.

Albany, GA… What about Albany, New bloody York! It’s the capital of the Empire State and we still have only bloody EDGE… and where I live that is sketchy at best… Just because I was an early adopter of Android should I get shafted with a data plan cost that doesn’t provide said coverage in my area. crappy…

Store reps said that Louisville was getting 3G in March 2009, back in October 2008 when I bought the G1.

Louisville and Lextington areas in KY get TMo 3G this Monday 12/3/09! That’s from the store reps themselves. Whoohoo!!

I was told by a T mobile manager at Kenwood Mall that it would be till 2011 if we got 3g. There is a greater possibility that we will NEVER be 3g. Interlopers on the freq and there might be a court case.

Bill: Here in 48381, two thirds of the tower downtown is EDGE, while the other sector is GPRS. My house is right on the border between sectors, so my phone would switch between EDGE and GPRS all the time, save for several months this year when they inexplicably disabled EDGE and left the tower GPRS-only! I had an opportunity to talk to T-Mobile’s national director of M2M (machine-to-machine) last year, and he told me that hammering the cell site with data would probably get someone at the Livonia switch to notice and re-enable EDGE. My record was 4GB of data in a month over GPRS, mostly streaming Canadian radio on an unlocked iPhone.

After months of hammering the site, someone finally re-enabled EDGE… on the same two sectors as before! [facepalm] If your phone supports 3G, it stops in Wixom, one town over. Trust me, I feel your pain. Well… I’ve felt your pain. I switched to Sprint a month ago and it’s like when I first went from dialup to a cable modem. EV-DO everywhere for the same price I was paying zee Germans, plus things like unlimited calling to any cell phone and unlimited N&W, which couldn’t be added to my Blackberry plan. And if I need to roam on Verizon, the phone can be forced onto their network.

The really sad thing was that roaming on regional carriers (like indigo Wireless or Centennial) between Midland and Traverse City was 100% EDGE, even all the way up M-115 where the cell sites are little boxes on telephone poles with a couple antennas pointing up and down the main road.
