http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/t-mo...unlimited-data-plan-thats-actually-unlimited/
At a time when Verizon and AT&T are charging more for Data, T-Mobile comes to the rescue with unlimited Data for $30 for Classic Plans and $20 for Value Plans.
<3 I am excited! I was actually considering switching to Sprint for truly unlimited data, but now that my beloved T-Mobile is getting it, I am never leaving!

The unlimited data plan does not allow tethering. This is a quite reasonable limitation in my opinion but even so I am sure it will be bypassed on rooted phones by Sept. 7th.
Its almost TOO good to be true. But Tmo does take out the included HotSpot Tether (easy work around for us here tho ). This + the iPhone5/LTE (hopefully for Tmo's sake) + HEAVY marketing (including improved network toting & great prices) will bring new customers in droves. Tmo needs this combo punch for the holiday season.
Also, does anyone know how to only test the 1900 HSPA+ band on the GNex instead of AWS/1700 HSPA+? Tmo has been working on HSPA+ over their 1900 band for some months now, and I want to see if any towers in and around Seattle are enabled yet.
Have not been this excited about something from tmo in a long time. Still waiting for a catch, but damn this will be epic. I get unlimited through my dealer line anyway, but will be awesome for my wife.

Crappy speeds and terrible phones? 2 good reasons right there.

1.7 mb down on Sprint 3g is good enough for me. As far as phones, you have to clone to have a decent one besides the EVO 4g LTE

Once my nightmare with sprint ends, I will definitely go back to Tmob. They have the best customer service IMHO.

Dude, if you hate Sprint that much just root your phone and throw a Verizon prl on and just use it. Sprint will let you out of the contract for sure

I wasn't referring to their miniscule LTE network. I was talking about their horrible CDMA/EVDO network.

Not good enough for heavier data users that watch HD videos, wants quick web browsing, wants to download files quickly, etc. 1.7mb is not enough.

Network Vision is occuring in LA, you'll have 4G LTE soon. Just hang in there, it's tower maintenance.
Wow just earlier this month I searched for 4g lte in LA and I couldn't find anything. I searched Network Vision and see that we will probably have it going this September. Awesome. Thanks for letting us know.

I would totally care but sprint doesn't seem to care about the Denver area. Theres wimax in like a 10 block radius and promises for years we'd get more.... Now they're switching to lte and more promises but for the last 3 years its always been their sucky 3g

You can manually write whatever PRL you want with DFS CDMA Tool & a PC, regardless of which ROM you're on.

I was in SLC last month and had solid 4g in the neighborhood above the capitol. Didn't go too far from there so I can't speak to other areas.
I've literally traveled all over America due to being in a touring metal band, and I can honestly say that 1. Sprint's service ****ing SUCKS ****. And 2. 4G LTE is extremely spotty. Luckily at home here in Baltimore I have 4G all over, but anywhere other than the east coast, you're lucky to get LTE. I had great service when I was in Denver earlier this summer, but no 4G whatsoever if I recall correctly (And I don't, because Colorado is a... "Medical" state. )

I lol'ed at the your description of how Sprint's service sucks...especially since I generally agree. But down here in Dallas, I get pretty great LTE coverage. I think because we were one of the first markets to launch LTE. In some places in town I get 30MB+ download speed so I cant complain. But in the outskirts of town and suburbs...it isnt nearly that good but I'll still usually be able to connect to LTE.

I've got to take care of a couple things this morning, but when I'm done (probably about 2 hours) I'll post a full write-up.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed a stock rom to get the updated PRL. Looks good. What's different about it?
Also, I get pretty decent 4G coverage in Houston, Texas with Sprint, even out to the suburbs on the north side. It's not nearly as fast as the service I had with verizon, though, but it is at least consistent.
Once you get past the city limits on the east or south, though, both 3G and 4G get iffy.
I have awsome Sprint Airave coverage at home.
I hope someone makes a app like RoamControl that works with our Optimus G so my phone will work outside of my house.

what freq. does your phone support is the real question. may not get lte in the states with the 7105. check your phone's freq. against the carrier freq.
EDGE / GPRS (850/900/1,800/1,900MHZ)
HSPA+42 (850/900/2100)
LTE (800/900/1,800/2,600)

I have the att variant of the m8 and I have to set my radio to wcdma only or my data is so inconsistent with dropouts that I can't use the phone. wcdma is very consistent and stable... But I also own an iPhone 5s and it has zero problems with a lte signal and it never drops. Is this a known issue with this phone? Wcdma is fine but obviously I'd rather be on lte... Its just in my area.... When I get close to a bigger city, lte works fine when I switch it back.

I think you've worked it out for yourself. With good coverage it works fine.
Maybe you are in a bit of a fringe area and the LTE signal drops in and out a bit?
