Is HSPA+ Coming To Your City? Find Out Now!


Now that Magenta has started rolling out its super fast HSPA+ with plans to cover over 100 major metropolitan cities (over 185 million people) by the end of 2010 and 75 million customers to be covered by the end of June, the question most of you want answered is, will your city get HSPA+? Well, the good folks over at T-Mobile have constructed a new map displaying current cities with HSPA+ coverage and cities that are scheduled to get HSPA+ in the future. Even though the map does not show exactly when these cities will get HSPA+ and simply reads “Coming Soon”, it’s definitely nice to know your city will indeed join in on the awesomeness that is HSPA+. Check the HSPA+ coverage map here. And while you’re at it, make sure to check out some of the videos explaining exactly what T-Mobile HSPA+ is and what it has to offer to consumers.

T-Mobile HSPA+ Fun Facts (You may know some of these or you might not, either way here they are):

  • Theoretical Capability of peak download speeds of up to 21 mbps
  • Theoretical Capability of peak upload speeds of up to 5.7 mbps
  • You don’t have to buy a new phone to take advantage of the new network—many existing T-Mobile® 3G phones and laptop sticks work too
  • Runs on state-of-the-art fiber optic technology
  • Up to 3 times faster than competitors standard 3G networks (Compared to AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon)
  • HSPA stands for High Speed Packet Access

    Should I hold my breath? Really and truly, we’re going to SKIP 3G here in Mobile and go straight to HSPA+?

    • sorandkairi

      Yeah … i guess! I’m in Montgomery and i was super suprised that Huntville and Tusk. got 3g before us… go figure!

    • jshapz

      ya i doubt it. i live in my mobile too. apparentley the air force base in biloxi is using our 3g towers for government stuff. this is what my friends say that work at tmobile. i dont think the HSPA+ is a different frequency but if it is we may get it here.

  • Chad

    Great to see HSPA coming 45 minutes away from me, but I’d be happy with 3G in my area.

  • jESUS

    YESSSSS!!!! Phoenix Az Coming Soon.

  • JM

    Took advantage of it here in Houston. It is impressively fast. Clear has competition…

  • RayMatthew

    WOW, I checked your post pic then I went to check my area which is Houston. I checked my speed. SUPER FAST!!

    • chevyBoy

      it its super fast! i noticed the speed boost on my HD2 lols!! it keeps up with my computer lol

  • T

    T-Mobile updated their pink cities a few hours ago, this map is out of date. http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/hspa#

    • Kickstar13

      Thanks for catching that. We’ve updated the image.

      • T

        No problem!

  • Bob

    Looking forward to Sacramento release. Some dates thrown around would’ve been nice.

  • Jrsykind

    I’m loving it! Getting about 2.5 mb down and 0.4 up using FCC Mobile Broadband Test app on stock G1. Live outside Trenton/Princeton, NJ.

  • wack mode

    hell yea

  • AAAAAA

    Tmobile needs to first expand their 3G coverage into more rural areas. Like not out in the middle of nowhere but between the big cities. The nearest 3G for me is 45 mins away north and 1 hr south. This is the reason I might switch to the new DROID X from verizon. I know its more expensive but paying for data with edge speeds is just not worth it anymore. Still love Tmobile.

  • mike

    come on south florida !!!!!

  • Coiler

    I am wondering how wide of a coverage area this will affect. I live about 20 miles from SLC, UT and the 3g speeds here are mediocre at best. When they roll out HSPA+ in SLC, will that affect my location positively or have no affect?

  • Solrac924

    awesome. HSPA+ coming to El Paso!!

  • carts

    My download speeds havnt changed much still at 1.6m. Upload has gone up tho. midtown atlanta

  • T

    I am so happy! My HD2 is running super fast, and when I connect it to my computer and run a few speed tests its always 3-4 mbps down, .80-2 mbps up!

  • T

    I am so happy HSPA+ is finally in Tampa Bay! My HD2 is running super fast, and when I connect it to my computer and run a few speed tests its always 3-4 mbps down, .80-2 mbps up!

    • Johnny

      im in tampa too! speed is incredibly fast on my hd2 as well! loving it!!

  • Mgoggles

    Weird…..No Washington DC listed as current or coming soon? Give me some love TMobile!

    • Will

      It’s live in DC. In fact, compass shows it as live.

  • Rubinz

    And the people in between those cities, denied?

  • sw

    DC is active works great for me. Actuially have the Rocket and got 7Mb down no problem.

    • Mgoggles

      I thought DC was already lit. Just surprised to not see it listed.

  • whodatfever

    It’s in New Orleans and I’m getting awesome speeds but not everywhere. In the heart on New Orleans I’m still getting 500-600K. On the outskirts I’m pulling anywhere from 1.6-4.3!!

  • badaphooko01

    Anybody see the change for the Atlanta area? I can’t test because I don’t get 3g in my house until I leave the subdivision. Also are you guys seeing the H symbol instead of 3g?

  • John

    I’m getting 4.5 down here in north Dallas. McKinney actually.

  • andres

    I am in orlando amazing how fast is this now…coollll…G1

  • eYe

    It would be nice to see some dates…. coming soon could mean a lot of things… as soon – 2 months from now or soon – in December. But it’s nice that T-mo already started rolling it out.

  • Me

    I assure you, if you have 3G you will soon get HSPA. The limitation is actually not T-Mo it is actually the backhaul AAV carrier (may it be COX, VZ, ATT etc). If an IP circuit is available, all they have to do is plug it in and up you go to HSPA.

    So if you have T-Mobile 3G, and no HSPA don’t blame T-Mo blame the backhaul which is not yet able to support an IP circuit. This forces T-Mo to rely on good old ATM like ATT does on their wireless network.

    So why is ATT not HSPA? Because their hardware doesn’t support IP backhaul.

    Also, it is HSPA not HSPA+.
    To get the + you must have MIMO and 64QAM. No MIMO here yet… sorry.

    • JonnyB

      huh? lol
      All i know when Southern California gets this fast network, thats when im jumping ship, for now im enjoying my HTC hero from Sprint and upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S Pro on August:]

    • Rubinz

      What about HSDPA? That’s what my Nexus One is connected at and the max dl speed is <500kbps.

  • Perry

    Where do I go after clicking on the link?

    • Perry

      Nvm.

  • MagentaMagic

    Looks like Columbus, OH is on the coming soon list… (I could not find this live map on the site, so I’m guessing by looking at the image provided here.) Would be great to bump our 3G market up and blow the other guys out of the water!!!

    • William

      Hopefully they smooth out the coverage here in Franklin County in the process. Dublin has pitiful 3G coverage, Hilliard is spotty, as is Grove City. Parts of the inner city also have some severe issues. A boost in speed will be great, but a boost in power and coverage would be better.

  • tato22

    miami coming soon i dont know how Orlando and Tampa got it first but cant wait

  • melissa

    come on t-m0bile bring 3G to puerto rico .. i dnt wanna go to at&t or claro or sprint becuz they do have 3G

    • Gabriel

      Yeah….still no 3G over here in Puerto Rico, what a shame, every year they come with the same bull!@#$ “next summer”….they lie about bringing 3G last summer and this summer they come with the same thing….im apying those $200 early termination fee and moving to Sprint.

  • Patrick

    I love you Indianapolis lol

  • Brock

    Keep in mind, the only device that takes full advantage of HSPA+ is the Rocket USB stick. The best any TMO phone can do is 7.2 Mbps (theoretical), 2-4 (real-world).

  • http://www.twitter.com/the_real_newman @the_real_newman

    Delaware has awesome hspa speeda but I guess we get lumped in with Philadelphia yet again :-(

  • Danny P.

    2 questions …. 1) is New Jersey part of the New York area in this coverage map?
    and 2) Is HSPA the same as what T-mobile named ” Very Fast Mobile Web” ?

    HSPA coverage map doesn’t list New Jersey or even North Jersey as part of PA. Yet, the very fast mobile web in the personal coverage map does show Northern New Jersey. So now I’m wondering if they are both the same and if Jersey even has HSPA?

    • hineschr

      I seem to have hspa+ for a few months now in many locations in northern nj. I think since it is not too widespread yet they haven’t officially announced it for the state. Its weird I’m either in HSPA+ or edge which is like going from fios to dial up. Tmo really needs to work on that aspect of the network.

  • Gardo

    Yeah at Puerto Rico they always say coming soon, it has been like that for the past two years and we are still in the coming soon. Oh and I mean 3G, not Hspa+. It’s a shame that for an island so small that they could cover with three or four antennas they don’t do it. Believe me I’m considering paying the $200 fee, I just don’t trust T-mobile anymore with all their lies.

    • watbetch

      T-Mobile 3G hasn’t even been active for 2 years

  • RCorn

    Raleigh, NC isn’t even listed as “coming soon”…

  • Bengiepr

    Come on Tmo we want HSPA+ here in Puerto Rico it’s too late to implement 3G here in the island the competition will laught at you. My Nexus One is anxious for having decent speeds don’t let us down you have a lot of customers here, also bring more decent phones or the competition will beat you even more.

  • http://youtube.com/cliqandroid magma9495

    HSPA+ is coming to my city! :D

  • Ben

    HELL YEAH coming to SPOKANE, WA NEXT month from what the rep told me, but who knows its coming tho

  • Ben

    and you know whats crazy how some major cities still dont have 3g and i live in spokane wa and i do, we barely make mark on in the US and we have it. Come on tmo get it to everyone so we can all hold hands and sing a long, hahaha

  • Roger

    Damn that link appears to be down now. :(

  • mike

    Im in North Jersey im getting speeds 3-4 Mbps down and 1.2-1.8 Mbps up. thank you t mobile

  • Otpradio35

    YES!!!! Im in Metairie, La(the city right next to New Orleans) and my MyTouch just hit 7.4 Mbps down and 3.6 Mbps on the up with Oms Latency!!! I used the FCC Mobile Broadband Test app from the market place.

  • Tony

    Nice! Colorado is coming soon! Also, where my mom lives on the MS Gulf Coast looks like it will be getting coverage soon as well!

  • catsigh

    In St Louis 3G is spasmodic. Sometimes I have it but often it’s Edge. Stablity would be nice if nothing else.

  • sorandkairi

    What’s up with Mississippi. Jackson, even tho i’ve moved, doesnt even have 3G! Come on T-mobile!

  • sw

    So just to clarify, Puerto Rico. Is not just 3/4 antennas. Try several 100 sites. The key driving point for 3G is population and $$$$. It will take millions to launch 3G in Puerto Rico. I’m talking a brand new network. Just like any carrier, population is key to drive profit. If you think Sprint is putting their latest technology there, keep waiting. I will tell you T-Mobile has one of the best networks on the island. Good luck.

  • drmd

    Site now working. Any news about Detroit/auburn hills MI

  • bakaruru

    Coming soon to Chicago. This service should have been rolled out to us first. GO HAWKS!!!!

  • Macknifetx

    In Phoenix we are still dealing with 3g. I click on the link to find out if we are getting it but it would not connect to the site. Hope we get it soon.

    • jESUS

      yes Tuscon and Phoenix Are Listed As Coming Soon :D YEESS!!! Lol
