Is T-Mobile’s LTE really the fastest? I’m not so convinced
At CES, T-Mobile claimed to have the fastest network in the country, but in its analysis it seems to have ignored one network entirely: Verizon’s new LTE monster.
T-Mobile: Our LTE network is in a constant state of flux
T-Mobile’s LTE network may now be in your city, but that doesn’t mean CTO Neville Ray’s engineering team has moved on. T-Mobile is constantly tweaking and upgrading the network as it goes.
T-Mobile’s new LTE network is fast, but it’s going to get a lot faster
T-Mobile’s new 4G service will keep pace with its competitors’ initially, but as the company fine tunes its deployment, its speeds will increase. Eventually T-Mo will field a network capable of supporting a theoretical 150 Mbps connection.
Where will T-Mobile launch LTE first? Probably in these eight cities
Thanks to OpenSignal’s crowdsourced testing app, we’re getting an early preview of where T-Mobile’s LTE will go live: Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas, New Orleans, New York City, San Diego, Seattle and the Bay Area.
Looks like we’ll see a T-Mobile iPhone (with LTE) this spring
T-Mobile CEO John Legere says a magenta-branded iPhone will be on the carrier’s shelves in three to four months. Given T-Mo’s accelerated network rollout that will put the phones launch right in sync with its LTE launch.
A T-Mobile iPhone next week? Unlikely. T-Mo isn’t ready
Make no mistake: T-Mobile will get the iPhone. It’s just highly unlikely that it will get it next week as Merrill Lynch is predicting. T-Mobile is still in the early stages of a network overhaul that will make it compatible with the iPhone’s 3G radios.
T-Mobile makes its data network iPhone friendly in the Bay Area

T-Mobile makes three more cities iPhone-friendly with 4G
Live in Washington, DC; Baltimore or Houston? If so, you have something common with folks in Kansas City and Las Vegas: Your unlocked iPhone or other AT&T smartphone can now run on T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network instead of the carriers old 2G network.
How the T-Mobile-MetroPCS merger affects you, the consumer
Unless there’s a major hiccup, T-Mobile and MetroPCS will become one next year. What does that mean for its customers? GigaOM breaks down how it will impact subscribers on both networks in both the short and long-term.
A bird’s eye view of a combined T-Mobile-MetroPCS
Spectrum and coverage maps show us exactly where the new ‘T-Metro’ will deliver on the promised 4G capacity. The gains in many key markets are impressive, but adding Metro’s assets won’t be a spectrum panacea for T-Mobile.
