HSPA+ Update

It has been said before, and it will be said again, T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network is fast, very fast.  HSPA+ is now available in Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey and suburban Washington DC, with more markets (LA for instance) going live soon. T-mobile is currently focused on delivering this network to 185 million people by the end of the year.  What’s great about this HSPA+ network?  Simple.  It offers the speeds available from other networks 4G networks without the need to upgrade equipment. Twelve of T-Mobile’s phones can take advantage of these super fast speeds, with the Garminfone and MyTouch 3G Slide being added to that list soon.  Why is that important today?  Well, Verizon decided to show off their LTE network today, and those speeds look similar to those offered by our trusty Magenta’s HSPA+ network.  Let’s Go T-Mo (I assume you know the chant).  Full release after the break and leave your thoughts in the comments!
