T-Mobile HSPA 7.2 upgrade complete, HSPA+ coming to devices later this year
Regular readers know I have stuck with T-Mobile for over 8 years in hopes that they would catch up their data network with the rest of the US wireless carriers. I jumped on the T-Mobile G1 when it was available in large part due to the support for 3G on T-Mobile. Unfortunately, it then took about another year before I had T-Mobile where I live, work, and play and now get 3G all over the place. T-Mobile is now passing up AT&T with confirmation that their HSPA 7.2Mbps network is now enabled across their entire 3G network. This 3G network is also constantly growing and now reaches over 200 million Americans. In addition, they have rolled out HSPA+ with 21Mbps (theoretical) speeds in Philadelphia and this will be much more prevalent by mid-2010.
