How is your Tmobile USA 3G coverage?

I have had my TP2 for a few weeks. I really like Tmobile' 3G, Where I live it's fairly reliable, I was wondering for others in the U.S. how is the coverage?

DC Checkin' in..
Here in the Nation's Capitol I'm loving the High-speed 3G plus being in the City there various Open Wi-fi Spots.. Sometimes i think there's 3G+ here from the blazing speed i get..

Sorry, I'm in Tampa FL, just south of Orlando my coverage is good.

I do field work all over the northeast, from Delaware to Maine. 3G coverage is spotty between cities, as expected. There are parts of the NJ turnpike where there's no signal at all! In Maine there's hardly any 3G up there. Compared to AT&T's 3G coverage, T-mo's is a step down, though the speeds are very comparable. I have a company supplied Verizon wireless modem that has 3G coverage almost everywhere.

New England is spotty at best...not completely upgraded there..NY is not bad, Chicago is great...

That's good to hear, I can't wait to switch to TM. AT&T has **** coverage just about everywhere for me. At work I'm getting 2 bars at the moment, which is 1 bar higher than I've ever seen before. My boss has an iPhone and he constantly has to walk to a window to make phone calls.

I live in Atlanta, and I must say the coverage is REALLY good. I get great connection speed as well. It's weird, I actually get better reception on my TP2 then I did on my Wing.

ATL GA, Coverage is good!

Decent in Denver
It's not too bad in the Denver area. Sometimes just a couple of bars, but seems to work fine.
Question on "My Location" Service (e.g. google maps). w/o the GPS turned on. For me, it only works if I disable 3G.
Perhaps there's not enough towers to triangulate.

I'm in Phoenix & I get 3G just about everywhere I go except work, but that's because that's 30ft underground at the hockey arena.
When I went to El Paso, Tx they had 3G in only parts of the city. I don't know why Tmobile would just implement it in certain parts. From what I hear the whole West side & most of the NE of the city has no 3G til January-ish.
@david Google Maps will not triangulate while on 3G with Tmobile. Its a known issue if you want to search.

This is pretty normal. GPS doesn't use a ton of battery life, so just leave it enabled in Google Maps.
And I am in Orange County, CA. Coverage here is awesome overall. I have issues at my home, but that is all. I have it solid otherwise with HSPA.

Here in Queens, NY and the 3G is great!!! 2-3 bars at home, mostly 2. But I don't have any problems at all with 2 bars on 3G. At work I get full bars!!!
I'm all good.

I live in Portland and I rarely have more than 1 or 2 bars of 3g. I'm a bit disappointed because my wife has almost full on her G1.

It sounds like TMO has done a fairly good job at rolling out their 3G. I must say they have been modest when it comes to bragging like At&t.

I am out in the west burbs of chicago. I get 1 bar 3g, if it's on 3g at home. Usually goes to 2g. I am in a bit of a weak spot for 3g. I don't use 3g much at home. Everywhere else it is very good. Doesn't cover as much as edge though. Just past aurora and it's gone. (Orchard rd at I-88 seems to be as west as it goes). They updated edge in western Illinois with the 3g rollout. It used to stop at dekalb but now it goes all the way to the quad cities. Sweet!
I was in Tampa when it was rolled out there. Near Brandon/Tampa/Riverview. (kinda near 301 and causeway). I get 1-2 bars edge. Nothing 3g. Very weak spot. They need a tower there!

Seattle Washington area. So far so good.

I'm in Tampa also, and the 3g here always has full bars!!!

SUXX here in NJ in certain places ( my home...lol) I have 1 bar and no 3G or even Edge in my house ...Tj

T-Mobile 3G coverage map updated again

Within the last week, updated again.
http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx

Accuracy
Well, I have been very weary of this map. The map now says it covers 3G where I live (Outskirts of Tucson) I don't remember seeing 3G at my house last night. 3G coverage in Tucson seems spotty at best for me and I definitely haven't seen the 7.2 Mbps 3G. But I'll wait and see I guess. Anyone else see 7.2 Mbps in Tucson?

Lol wow can they make a more hard to use confusing map?

Yay for T-Mobile and their confusing map.
But looks like they have plenty of coverage, atleast the service doesn't cut off for hours like A*T..

Yep. Just checked. No 3G at my house. Driving into town, 3G does pop up about 2 miles closer and the signal is stronger.

Live/Work in 4G, 4G soon, or 3G nework?

Hey future Evo owners. A lof of talk has been going around to say that the phone is not worth it unless you live in a 4G area, so I was curious if you guys live in a 4G area now, in an area that will soon be 4G (like NYC and LA this summer), or in a 3G area. I could not find how to make a survey, so I am just going to post the question...
I am in a 4G soon area.

Sprint posted that the Orlando Florida area will be getting 4G by end of summer

I don't live or work in a 4G area, however it's only about 25 minutes away (Tacoma, wa) so whenever I go to the "Big City" I'll have 4G.
Well worth it to me.
It'll probably bleed down here soon enough anyway.

the huge 4.3 screen is worth it! your eyes will thanks you!

Portland, OR resident here... the city where it all started
4G coverage here should be quite good since WiMAX has been live the area for ~1.5 years or so.

Live in Atlanta, so I'm covered with 4G. Pretty excited.

I go to school in a 4G area 9 months out of the year, but right now I'm stick in a town that probably won't get 4G for quite some time. Honestly, I doubt I will ever use it outside of showing off to friends thanks to campus wifi and 4G's terrible signal penetration.

Congrats dude, I lived in vegas for awhile, I miss it :/
I'm in phoenix, no 4G here(i know, 5th largest city in the US or something and no plans even, wtf.

I was surprised to find 3 cites in North Carolina have 4G coverage. Not exactly disappointed though...

I wanted the Evo for the phone, and couldn't care less about 4G until I realized last night that I have Clear coverage at work and am on its border at home! Now I'm completely overwhelmed!
I can't wait until tomorrow!

4G in Northern Colorado?

Anybody in Northern Colorado, or anywhere in Colorado, had success in getting some 4G coverage?
I just flashed to Baked Snack from cm6 to create a backup I can use while I'm in Vegas this weekend so I could test out 4G finally and was able to connect to 4G from my basement!
Ran some speed tests and performs better than the 3G here. I actually normally get 3G speeds in the 2000's at UNC which has a Sprint tower on one of the residence halls. At my house it's rather slow, the 826 download is 3G, the rest are 4G except the wifi.
Anybody have any luck in this area?

I am in fort Collins and have not managed to get 4G anywhere around here or in loveland. I am not really checking very often to tell you the truth. I hear there are areas in denver. Did you get 4g somewhere in northern colorado?

I've gotten pretty damn nice results with only 2 bars of 4G here in Orlando, Fl

Yes i live in Greeley, about 3 miles west of UNC and that's where I got those results from.
Ive never even bothered to turn it on before either until recently just to make sure the radio would work.
I'll keep it on during the day and let.you know how things are working.

I guess I am just going to have to start randomly testing around here. I did not think it was in this area so I have not bothered even trying that much.

Try out Map Viewer on the market (Sensorly), you can see where other users are getting Wimax 4g in your area, you can also let it track where you're getting 4g. Also tracks GSM, CDMA, and wireless connections.
Some 4g in the downtown Denver area along I-25, US 6, up and down Alameda, Sheridan and Wadsworth.

Short Sprint outage in Greeley today = 4g coverage around 36 and 47th (the only area I have been in so far speeds as tested with Speedtest.net app = 1.5 down 800 up.

I've got 4G at home now. it has been off and on, but I've got it at home and at my office.

Denver Tech Center definitely gets it...haven't tried any other places.

Sprint LTE Coverage Map (NYC)

http://www.sensorly.com/map/4G/US/USA/Sprint/lte_310sprint
It's not official because those are just test towers that Sprint is keeping lit, but it gives us NYC guys some hope that LTE will fully roll out sooner than later. Since I've been checking, the area around Bryant park popped up, and both Bronx/Harlem coverage seems to have grown. I've had the Note II since launch and this thing is just a beast, the only thing holding it back is LTE coverage. When it's hooked up to WiFi it absolutely decimates any other smartphone that I've played with.

This roll out is too slow I heard theres really only one test tower in Bronx . I live in Brooklyn and spend a lot of time in Manhattan seems like ill have to take a train ride to the Bronx just to get a little taste of LTE.

The test towers in Harlem are very real. My cop buddy was on patrol there and found it while driving around yesterday. Personally, I'm not a fan of going to sketchy neighborhoods so I'm going to check the spot by Bryant Park next time I'm in that area.

Im sorry 38,579+ towers in two years slow? About as slow as a rabbit on speed. Also, with the investment they just got. They'll most likely be slapping rockets and skates to the rabbit.

For the Queens guys (like myself), it looks like LTE is starting to trickle out in the Whitestone/College Point area (weird the map shows the strongest coverage on/around the Whitestone Bridge...lol). I'm not sure if this is an error, but being that I take that bridge all the time and live only 10 minutes or so from the area, I'm going to go check it out this weekend. Will report back with my findings.
For the Bronx guys it would seem your coverage area has grown significantly since I first posted. You lucky bastards.

LTE has to come in Staten Island soon and North Jersey!

the 3g is making me miss my dial up modem from 99, im in staten island and im getting 28 down/ 300 up on a regular basis now, that horrible, i even might just esn swap back to my s1/s2 for go back to wimax

This is looking good. Slower than AT&T and Verizon but still good.

Got my first taste of LTE when I was doing some work @ Bronx HS of Science last week but I wasn't too impressed to say the least.
Clocked 4M down and 1.5M up (that's the best of 5 tests too), nowhere near my expectations. I've easily gotten those speeds on WiMax.

I'm heading to Manhattan on Friday. How's the data looking for MSG & W 63rd ish areas?

Bro I'm in SI too and I have such ****ty service on most of the Island. Forget LTE, I would like some decent 3g

I live close whitePlains road lm about toTake a walk to checkout the speeds

Nice to see it's spreading closer and closer to me...Then I won't have to go outside or be by my window :laugh:
The most I get by my house is 9+ down & about 3 up.
I did hit 31.67mbps down & 10.43mbps up when I was down by Jerome and Burnside in the BX earlier. That was saweeeet!

Seems like Sprint is showing the most love to the hoods 1st. Burnside wow!!

Need my Upper East Side fix! Let's get some LTE testing love over on E70th and 1st.

I was in a area of S.I. where a new tower or a upgraded tower was in place. If you go outside you get full 3g speeds. If you go inside a building my 3g went from full 3g down to 4-5kBps....terrible...

No LTE in brooklyn
I go between Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens not one drop of LTE. I was by MSG no LTE I wanna know how sprints giving the BX LTE but yet not manhattan seems ass backwards.
