T-Mobile: Customer Data Proves We Have the Fastest 4G LTE Network in the U.S

[Database Error]

During T-Mobile’s UnCarrier 4.0 event that wrapped earlier this afternoon, T-Mobile made a bold new claim: they now have the fastest 4G LTE network in the land. Don’t worry (or maybe you should) though, they didn’t use an outside firm or “highly paid industry consultants” to collect their data. No sir, they used data straight from consumers and testing through the ever-popular Ookla Speedtest app.

According to their “independent analysis of the NetMetrics Reports provided by Speedtest.net,” T-Mobile speeds averaged out to 17.8Mbps, which was ahead of Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. Their tests also show AT&T averaging 14.7Mbps and Verizon at 14.3Mbps. Sprint dropped in at around 7Mpbs, well below the others.

Call it official or their own take on it, T-Mobile is standing by this idea. CEO John Legere joked (at least I think it was a joke) on stage during their announcement that he was going to send AT&T a Cease & Desist letter to make them take down all of their advertisements that suggest they are the faster network. Should be fun to see that playout.

In related news, T-Mobile mentioned that their LTE network now covers more than 209 million people and is in 43 of the top 50 markets. Well, that would be there 10+10 LTE network. What they really wanted to talk about was upgrading their network 20+20 LTE. They currently have North Dallas launched as their first 20+20 LTE market, with plans for expansion.

The 20+20 LTE network is capable of measured download speeds of 147Mbps and uplink speeds of up to 40Mbps, according to T-Mobile’s test. In even better news, all of their current devices will have access to this network once it reaches them. That’s not the case for Verizon who is currently upgrading their LTE network by utilizing AWS spectrum on band 4. Only some of Verizon’s new phones are AWS-ready.

Shit this is only the beginning... that's the warm up

T-Mobile Will Help You Send a “Break Up Letter” When You Leave Your Current Carrier

T-Mobile has made it clear – they aren’t going to hold back any time in the near future. They are going to be brash, bold, and say whatever the hell is on their mind when it comes to their competitors. And since you all seem to be joining in on their party – their preliminary Q4 2013 report shows 1.6 million new net adds – they want to invite you to be vocal with them. They want you to send a “break up” letter.

Launched today, with their latest UnCarrier movement that will pay ETF fees for customers who sign-up for T-Mobile service, the growing carrier has created an app to help you send a “break up” letter to your former carrier. An example can be seen above in the image I took from the press event, but it could vary depending on how you answer a series of questions.

The letter could bring up “Dumpsville,” say that “we’re over,” or tell them how much you hated being “used for your money.”

Silly, but silly is good most of the time. To send yours, visit their app on Facebook.

AT&T has started their low key bullshit prepaid service called Naio...I think. When I
examined the fine print, it said they throttle date at 5gigs for high speed. So I tucked
my tail and ran

T Mobile, was intentionally throwing in the towel with collusion from the other telecoms, knowing that a competitor was going to buy them. Now that the DOJ has blocked the merger, you see all this stuff coming out.

Yes sir!! I can't wait for 20+20!

aint nobody got time for that throttling shit i go threw at least 10+ gigs monthly.

I used 40 Gb, no throttling. Y'all need to check your plans before coming in these threads with the bullshit.

I'm starting to think some of you guys are ATT and Verizon execs.

No, they were working on this before the AT&T merger talk happened and went through several hsdpa transitions during that period. The problem was that they really didn't have the extra bandwidth to transition from HSPA+ to LTE smoothly. They had to merge with someone to gain breathing room or wait till 600mhz was available which keeps getting pushed back. This is why buying MetroPCS made sense, they had similar problems which is why they were first with LTE and VoLTE they had to be efficient as possible to make it work.

I have been proving this for 2yrs now in my office.

That's what i mean by the lucky few, the majority of people don't live in tech central or big cities so they aren't gonna get that service.
