I've been using my unlocked European iPhone 4 for 2 years at T-mobile now because it's the only GSM carrier that has reasonable plans. But while my plan includes unlimited data (awesome) I have a slow EDGE connection 90% of the time (not so awesome). There are some spots (Concord, San Jose) where I magically can get 3G but never in SF or any of the other areas I frequently am. So, I'm wondering if this statement is accurate and something's going to change in their coverage.

- vpeters25 14y agoT-Mobile has been upgrading their network to provide "4G" in the 1900 Mhz band which makes their 4G compatible with any 3G capable AT&T smartphone. Oddly, San Francisco appears to have been upgraded already (http://blog.t-mobile.com/2012/11/20/t-mobile-enhances-coverage-in-10-new-metro-areas-just-in-time-for-holiday-travel http://blog.t-mobile.com/2012/11/20/t-mobile-enhances-covera...) I have an android phone just switched to T-mobile here in DFW, I get 3G and HSPA speeds at work, but EDGE at home.
- jordanthoms 14y agoI get good coverage in most parts of SF, I've seen speeds around 15mbit, usually at least 5-6. But then you hit areas where it just sucks and you get basically no coverage at all, like my apartment. :(
