[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1489892, member: 145676"] It'll be interesting to see what happens when T-Mobile officially switches over its band to support the iPhone. Please keep us posted. Note - at one point on AT&T the signal name changed from 3G to 4G (even though the actual signal didn't change) and I wonder if T-Mobile will do the same once they get the iPhone. Also note even when it says 4G - it will still be HSPA+ - your phone has to say LTE for you to be getting the 4G LTE speeds. (AT&T and Verizon have deployed LTE here in CO - there is even LTE up in Summit County for Verizon) Good article explaining 3G/4G confusion [url=http://www.zdnet.com/iphone-5-meet-europe-where-4g-really-means-3g-lte-is-scarce-7000004284/]iPhone 5, meet Europe: Where 4G really means 3G, LTE is scarce | ZDNet[/url] Just for comparisons - I am getting 10.4Mbps down 7.89Mbps up on LTE with 4 bars on Verizon near Denver. Verizon 3G is .97Mbps and .82Mbps up - so your numbers are significantly faster than Verizon's 3G speeds (for download anyway) From what I read TMO is going to be selling unlocked phones only - so no subsidies - so I'm not sure what waiting for the official release really buys you?
