4G Speeds From T-Mobile Now Broadly Available in the Northeastern U.S. and Other Major Cities

Business Wire
T-Mobile USA, Inc. announced today the continued expansion and
customer availability of its HSPA+ super-fast mobile broadband
network that delivers 4G speeds in the Northeastern U.S. and other
major cities across the country.
As the company continues to aggressively broaden its HSPA+
network in the New York City metropolitan area, including New
Jersey and Long Island, T-Mobile announces the further build-out
and widespread availability — right now — of its super-fast network
in adjoining regions, including Upstate New York (Albany, Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse), Connecticut (Hartford, New Haven, Milford
and Stamford) and Providence, R.I. Already live in Philadelphia, as
well the Washington, D.C. suburbs, T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network will
expand into Boston and Washington, D.C. in the coming weeks,
further enhancing the Northeast corridor with 4G speeds.
In addition, customers in Memphis, Tenn., and Las Vegas, also
now can stay connected on T-Mobile’s high-speed mobile broadband
network.
Using the HSPA+ wireless technology standard, the T-Mobile
network currently delivers theoretical peak download speeds of
21Mbps1. T-Mobile’s rapidly expanding HSPA+ mobile broadband
footprint makes it easy for customers to enjoy 4G speeds2 on
existing mobile broadband devices such as the T-Mobile webConnect™
Rocket™ Laptop Stick. In addition, more than a dozen released
T-Mobile devices benefit from these enhanced speeds, with two
high-performance smartphones available next month — the T-Mobile®
myTouch 3G Slide™ and the Garminfone™.
T-Mobile’s HSPA+ mobile broadband network now covers more than
30 million Americans. With an aggressive build-out plan, T-Mobile
expects to make further significant leaps in the coming weeks and
months to deliver 4G speeds in 100 major metropolitan areas,
covering 185 million people in the U.S. by the end of this
year.
T-Mobile customers with 3G smartphones who live in these areas
served by the company’s mobile broadband network are now getting
enhanced data speeds without having to buy a new phone or spend
additional money. Now, these customers can surf the Web, download
files and share media on-the-go — many times faster on
home-broadband-like speeds.
“Our competitors are asking consumers to pay more for faster
wireless service with limited coverage and very few capable
devices,” said Neville Ray, senior vice president of Engineering
and Operations for T-Mobile USA. “In contrast, T-Mobile is already
delivering 4G speeds today to customers and we continue to make
major leaps in expanding our HSPA+ mobile broadband footprint.”
T-Mobile’s next-generation network can provide consumers with a
home-broadband-like experience on-the-go. T-Mobile currently has
5.2 million customers using 3G-capable converged devices on the
network, a 33 percent increase in smartphone adoption since the end
of 2009 and expects to increase that number to 8 million by the end
of the year.

experienced by customers with upgraded 3G will be less than the
theoretical peak and will vary based on a number of factors,
including location, device, and overall traffic on the local
wireless network at a given time.
