I am getting T-mobile LTE consistently on the north side of Chiago!

The main reason T mobile seems to be goin faster than Sprint is because tmo isn't upgrading all their towers like Sprint is doing only the up to date towers on contrast Sprint is doing all their towers but still I like the speeds.

T mobile already stated that all 2g towers will remain 2g until further notice.

Sorry but i don't pick your point what is mean theme of your post???
Like I said. You should read up before opening your mouth.
T-Mobile?s network modernization project will improve approximately all 37,000+ towers the company is operating over the course of 18 months. These changes offer improved voice and data coverage, as well as a 20% improvement to indoor coverage.
T-mobile will refarm their 850 mhz
And 1900mhz spectrum for their hspa network. That's where 2g currently occupies those frequencies. Maybe not all of it? But as the statement
Above states... Most of all 37,000
Towers T-mobile operates
I haven't seen 2g edge since LTE went live about a month ago. The backup for lte here is 4G Hspa +.
But heck even 2G edge was just as fast as my so called 3g with sprint.
Point is even if edge is still there?
I dont see it. Even my phone calls go through hspa+.
T-mobile still has a 4g back up if
Somehow LTE isn't there.
For Honolulu? It is pretty much 95% lte here.

I read already before I typed this Wtf u think u talkin too like I said if u think tmobile is upgrading all the towers like Sprint is now u FLAT OUT DREAMIN POINT BLANK.

Sprint is not upgrading every single one of their towers dude. Get it right.
And you know what? From what I see overall. T-mobile network
Delivers much better speeds overall than sprint.
Why should they have to upgrade to be like Sprint? You think a mature LTE network
Should have speeds like yours?
Even on peak hours?
7mb DL lol. That's less than half of my hspa speeds lol if I were you?
I would rather go with Verizon lte
With the 10gb cap
And oh this is still peak time in Honolulu... http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/24/vevupata.jpg

Dude sprint is upgrading 99.9% of the towers what u call that. Like I said I have facts to back up what I'm saying smgdh.

First off tmobile was loosing customers last quarter so more spectrum to go around second off I was getting those speeds when lte first got here now I get around 15-20mb and around 11 around peak hours who said something bout 7 lol. Chicago is a much more mature sprint LTE market than yours is a tmobile one hell u just got LTE I saw the thread we had LTE for goin on a year now and I still can hit 20mb so what u sayin exactly???
Ps. I avg about 20gb a month.

Shake your head as much as you want.
Plain and simple...
The real reason why tmobile is able to upgrade their towers faster? it is because they already have the fiber
Optic backhaul in place. Sprint doesn't.
While sprint was up in the air on what to do with their money? 2-3 years ago or more?
Tmobile was already laying the fiber down.

Yes BUT they only added fiber to the upgraded towers. U are in Hawaii which shouldn't have much 2g anyway but over here in the mainland tmobile has A LOT OF edge only zones especially outside the city. And those are remaining 2g. Why u think it's only tmo lte in major urban city's???
