T-Mobile Lights Up More Cities With HSPA+
Company says they're offering '4G speeds' (not to be confused with 4G)
by Karl Bode Tuesday 25-May-2010 tags: business · bandwidth · T-Mobile US · wireless
Tipped by Gbcue See Profile
According to an announcement by T-Mobile, the company has expanded the availability of their faster HSPA+ wireless broadband upgrades. The faster service is theoretically capable of speeds up to 21 Mbps, though of course users in real-world settings are seeing substantially less. Still, T-Mobile's confident enough in the speeds they're delivering to claim they're now offering "4G speeds" in their press release, even though the technology they're using isn't 4G. The company's release notes expansion in a number of markets, many of them in the northeast:

...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.

According to T-Mobile, their HSPA+ network now covers more than 30 million users, and the company plans to deliver "4G speeds" to roughly 185 million people before the end of the year. As for actual T-Mobile 4G service, the company is still weighing its options.

Too expensive? Compared to what? AT&T & Verizon are more expensive and for now at least delivering slower speeds.

Their data plan is now 39.99 a month for upto 5 gigs, and beyond the 5 gigs they will throttle you back but no overages.

Competition is good

T-Mobile will really put pressure on the bigger guys to get going on higher speeds. Good to see them being aggressive about it.

Re: Competition is good

It should also put more pressure on crap DSL providers like Frontier. At the moment, Frontier can get away with charging $40+/mo for 768K down in their home market (Rochester). Time Warner charges $45+/mo for their Internet access, too - yay collusion.

Re: Competition is good

Yeah, I'm on TWC now and have WiMAX coming this summer. I can see a WiMAX site out my window on top of another condo building 2 blocks away - LOS and above trees! Will give WiMAX a try with EVO and may get rid of cable modem. I only need 4Mbps for streaming video (Netflix/Hulu), don't really have a need for much more than that but it will need to be consistent.

TWC may be losing a customer. The cable companies clearly see this coming, which is why some of the major ones want to resell WiMAX.

Oh god. You have no clue about HSPA do you? The Nexus one is an HSPA 7.2 Phone. You must fail to realize the differences between HSPA+ and HSPA. I don't think there is a phone for T-Mobile that is capable of speed's higher than HSPA 7.2. BTW. I do know my stuff about cellular tech's. And citing Wiki show's how much you know.

And maybe before practically calling me an idiot, you should review the spec's and info of thing's first.
»www.google.com/phone/static/en_U···ecs.html

Nexus one is ONLY capable of HSDPA 7.2 and HSUPA 2mbps.

The speedtest your using is very inaccurate and you need to use an actual APP.

BTW. There are several speed standard of HSPA all the way from 7.2 to 42. And Snapdragon has nothing to do with network speed's, network speed's have to do with the internal chipset.

Ahahahahaha... oh yesss, you know "your stuff about cellular tech\'s" (sic!)

Apparently your stuff equals almost nothing.

HSPA+ is HSPA with a speed upgrade (via MIMO) while, as all HSxA standards, remaining backward compatible - in other words you have absolutely zero clue about your OWN PHONE, pal.

Nope, it shows where you should start your readings because you obviously don't know anything about cellular standards at ALL.

...you are truly priceless!



Since you are unable to read my link here's a nugget for you: HSDPA + HSUPA = HSPA standard (of which a faster and upgraded version is called HSPA+ in case you are confused.)
And no, speed differences are not standalone standards.

quote:

WTF?
Says who?
Is this something that comes from your iKnowledge - "there's an app for that"?

Dude, you are embarrassing yourself pretty badly already, why don't you just stop posting your nonsense and read about these things first?

The mobilespeedtest.com site I'm using is rather more accurate than any retarded app - because it measures one thing and one thing only: X MB under Y seconds. That's it. No influence by local CPU or memory shortage or anything else.

Also it's been proven zillion times that all apps are WORTHLESS because no mobile network will peak up to 10+ megabit with a 500kB-1MB test.

quote:

Snapdragon is a PLATFORM which INCLUDES THE RADIO CHIPSET...

Since you are obviously unable to even use a search engine properly here's an original article from January:

I hope we can conclude that you had little clue about the topic, you had absolutely no clue about your own HSPA/HSPA+ phone nor about HSPA vs HSPA+, the latter being inherently HSPA network and that you are sorry for spreading nonsense about my great results, right?

From the Google Nexus One site,

Cellular & Wireless
3 UMTS bands (either 900/AWS/2100 MHz or 850/1900/2100 MHz)
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
HSUPA 2 Mbps
GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
A2DP stereo Bluetooth

HSDPA 7.2mbps... There isn't a way to get the phone to use HSPA+. It's just like on CDMA, even though CDMA1x2000 is backwards capable, an IS-95B phone can't use CDMA1X data features, but it will still be able to operate on the network. Please do some followup reading on how these data technologies work before flaming me for my knowledge. And depending on the browser you use, the speed test can be further inaccurate because of data compression.

Tru but I doubt they could match VZ and ATT together; even if entire DT worlwide customer base added it's probably around 200M in best case (all T-Mobile operations total at some 140-150M worldwide IIRC.)

4G?

No one provides 4G in the US or really anywhere. Clear's WiMAX is only 3.9G, significantly slower than true 4G, and T-Mobile's upgrades are considered 3.5G.

Heck, Sweden's 2 city-wide implementations of LTE are 5 times faster than what Clear provides, or what Verizon demonstrated in their LTE ad.

Even this WiMAX test network in Australia demonstrates multiple times faster speeds than what Clear achieves in the US: »forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-re···=1418240

If the FCC isn't going to force Verizon and Sprint to advertise their service as 3.9G, then T-Mobile might as well be allowed to advertise their upgrades however the heck they want. Sigh.

"actual 4g"

Yes, because WiMax running at 8mbps is "actual 4g".

riight.

You smell that? Smells like someone actually believes Clear's marketing BS.

If Clear is selling "4g", then so is TMO.
If TMO isn't selling "4g", then neither is Clear.

Here's a hint though: neither of them is selling 4g!

But trying to criticize T-Mobile for marketing their product as 4g but not criticizing Sprint/Clear is disingenuous at best. At worst, it shows downright ignorance of the technologies at hand.

Re: "actual 4g"

Marketing and technology labels aside, the bottom line is that the carriers are pressuring each other to get higher speeds out the door. It's all good in the end.

HSPA+ is a 3.x technology that currently competes with '4G' but is at the tail end of its lifecycle. WiMAX/LTE are '4g' technologies that are not yet implemented to their potential. They cross paths for now in terms of performance but not in terms of architecture.

I do agree it's a bit misleading to call current WiMAX implementations '4G' in terms of performance. The technology is 4G but most implementations are not any different than 3.5G.

Re: "actual 4g"

Technology wise, the current deployments of wimax are 3.9g. Still not 4g tech wise, as it doesn't reach the standards the ITU has set forth: 100mbps mobile data capability. Currently deployed wimax cannot do that even with gig-e backhaul at a distance of 100m from the tower.
Also, 802.16d/e spectral efficiency is 1/3 what is acceptable for "4g".

So if we're speaking technical - wimax and hspa+ are in the same 3g ballpark (3.75g/3.9g). If we're talking real world speeds: same thing.

There are only 2 real 4g techs.
For LTE, that's LTE Advanced.
For wimax, that's 802.16m
Both are undeployed as of today.

Re: "actual 4g"

Yup, that's what I meant... the so-called '4g' today is basically on the 4G path, but not fully implemented as true 4G yet.

Doesn't really matter. That path to higher performance whatever the technology is in progress. US carriers will have a harder time executing it than many other smaller global carriers as country wide cost effective high speed backhaul is the real challenge, not so much the protocol. Of course spectrum used is another challenge but backhaul is probably the greatest challenge.

If Australia is showing 25Mbps+ per user, it's simply because they are able to provide the backhaul - and maybe doing MIMO if it's that level of performance at any significant distance. Doubt they could sustain that with 50+ users sharing a site. Would not only take 1Gbps+ backhaul, would also probably need a great deal of spectrum.

Nokia E73

Shhhhh.. Just went to the Nokia E73 launch event today. This phone is capable of 10.2 Mbps DL which will make this phone the fastest capable phone in America.

It's no iPhone but a solid full qwerty "does it all," phone with free turn by turn OVI maps and boatloads of other features including.... DARE I SAY IT... UMA.

Full BT or USB tethering is easy to do too at no extra charge.

I feel sorry for those who have no other choice but to use the most expensive providers. T-Mobile rocks here in Southern California and soon we'll have the fastest wireless network (provided by any of our US wireless providers) in the US here. Just a few weeks away.
