Wow

I bought a gn2 unlocked off craigslist for $450.00 cash.
Purchased a solavei wireless sim card.
60 bucks a month no throttle after any amount of data used.
Great coverage averaged 14 mbps down. Hmm with speeds like these hard to see how sprint stays with these guys.
For the first time in years I have been thinking of bouncing. From sprint to another Carrier . The blazing data speeds have me mezmerized. Solavei rides on tmobiles network. But at that price it may be worth a switch.
Bought the 2nd gn2 for a work phone. Gonna wait and see if sprint builds out the lte network in my area. But it's sad when I go back to my sprint gn2 and speeds won't pay 512 kbps on average.

I did the post just for you.
Honestly your best rebuttal would have been not to post.
Wasnt about how crappy sprints 3g is. But more about how fast tmobiles network is.
Been a sprint customer 15 years nothing new to me.
Hopefully the softbank acquisition helps Fix that.
And the post is phone related its a phone forum.

HSUPA+ compared to EVDO lol. If HDUPA+ on tmobile was always 14-15mbs download then they would have no need to roll out LTE. Thing is HSUPA+ cant maintain that speed.
Uh... nvm I am not going to explain... congrats on your unlimited highspeed data through tmobile.

HSPA+ ? Trust me even still in the dfw areas it's good averages 6 to 15Mbps. They don't need to roll out lte but normal consumers don't understand differences between 4g technology. And t mobile is truly using 3g but when pushed to its ultimate limits it hits 4g like speeds. But they don't people that obviously.but that's why gsm is so much better than cdma and other stuff too lol

Just like the other carriers I presume.

Is Tmobile still "unlimited" - 5-10GBs then throttled to hell or is it like Sprint's unlimited?

I have tmobile and one of their major slogans sort of is "the only truly unlimited data plan". Ive used like 30 gigs of data the month I have owned my note 2 and have never been throttled. Usually get around 27mb 19 down. I notice no change in speed.

No they have a plan that's 5 and 10Gb with hotspot that's throttled but if you get the unlimited 4g plan it's cheaper and better setting how we can all get hotspot for free.

If Sprint were to release EvDo RevB or even RevC, it'd pull speeds of up to 30mbps, too. Problem is, lte becoming the new standard, it'll evolve the fastest and its cost efficient for Sprint in the long run (also cost efficient for any carrier.) This is why everyone's going to lte.

I'll end up selling the tmo note 2 sooner or later. I am really looking forward to Sprints new owners making major changes. Hopefully we. Get 1 year. Upgrades back. That kept me on sprint

Actually, I think softbank is a CDMA Carrier. I could be wrong though.

GSM certainly has its advantages, that's why I was with T-mobile previously. The HSPA is getting pretty fast at it's peak, but there are so many times when you don't get those numbers if you are in a heavily used area.
Having said that, I switched to Sprint because they are implementing the next wave of GSM (READ: LTE-A) before T-mobile will be finished with their GSM network (Read: HSPA+42)

Tmonews just mentioned a software update for the note 2. Didn't mention any specifics though. I'd bet it will coincide with the initial markets go-live.
This is starting to play out just like the installation techs said it would when they installed the new equipment at a local tmo tower.

North Jersey also
Outside of where I work there were guys working on a tower. I asked them who were they worked for.... They told me Tmobile and they were putting in LTE ...that was in Elizabeth NJ... he said by the 13th it would be working.

Sure hope the they hurry up. I'm still on 2G here at work and it's infuriating.
I assume since they were gonna use the 2G frequencies for LTE I might finally be able to pull at least 3G here?

G1(CM7)--> G2(CM9)--> Note 2 T889 stock (root + multiwindow mod)

NYC should be soon also. Towers are more than likely already wired for LTE. Of course my speeds now are pretty great. No complaints.

I am SO TEMPTED to switch back to T-Mobile for the Note 2 and their upcoming LTE network.
1900mhz & AWS 3G bands

TRULY unlimited HSPA/LTE data
Fast data speeds during phone calls
Hate AT&T, but love how their network is mature. My friend's T-Mobile phone likes to occasionally switch to E.

News from tmobile tech

Here's some news. Talked to a tech today for awhile resolving an account issue. During our conversation I asked about deployment plans. Here is the top five things they said they're doing:
1. Rolling out LTE upgrades to current 4g towers. Which may cause temporary service loss of data.
2. Upgrading all towers along the interstate system in their current footprint to hspa and to LTE in larger cities with 4g already deployed.
3. LTE will roll out in large cities with 4g first that have completed upgrades.
4. Metropcs lte towers may be given greenlight for us to roam on until the switchover (which is contrary to previous statements)
5. Acquire more 1900mhz and AWS spectrum for more buildouts of hspa and LTE.
They're also looking at possibly doing unlimited data with tether soon. But no word on pricing or availability.

If the phone can support Band 4 LTE (which I do not think AT&T uses for their LTE), it can support it.

These threads seem silly, because what tech and care know is far from the truth. Also to whoever thinks that you don't need a update for lte, you are most certainly wrong. We just got LTE installed on the towers on our building and it is not working on my note. But other notes in the building we have for testing have LTE up and running just fine. Unfortunately these notes were sent already put together, so whether it was a update or a sim card is hard to tell because I haven't got hands on time alone with them yet. Another possible solution is a provision, through one of tmobiles systems for troubleshooting I have seen lte settings for a phone line specifically but wouldn't have the information to properly set it up.

Have experienced crap downloads but in South Phoenix where I live im 5 miles away from the nearest TMO advertised tower (and coming from cricket, its still fast in my mind) but this past few weeks I have experienced better speeds but more intiguing is my connectivity has gone haywire at times resulting in excessive batter consumption (periodically)... hoping this is LTE configs at work but its all a waiting game at this point

At&t lte users

Ok so I thought I'd contribute a bit and start a topic regarding what people thought of AT&T's LTE network.
I got an iPhone 5 the day they came out and was getting some amazing speeds. Like 15 Mbps down and 6 Mbps up. But within a few weeks of having my phone I started noticing dramatic drops. I live on Los Angeles and in the city I now get 2-3 down and less than 1 up. So what I would do with my iPhone was turn off LTE and too my surprise the 4g network was doing leaps and bounds better. About 6-8 down but still less than 1 up.
Now I have my new galaxy note 2 and still don't have the best of LTE but 4g is still giving me the high downloads I was seeing on my iPhone 5. So for the most part I keep my LTE shut off on my phone though turning it on and off isn't as easy to do on android as it was on my iPhone. Unless anyone knows a toggle I can add some how?
Anyways just thought I'd start this little discussion to see what everyone else thought about their LTE in their area. Personally I think it's a joke how expensive AT&T is and how poor quality their bandwidth is. If it's gonna be expensive it ought to work great. But I guess that's just how things go with all carriers. Well love to read your guys' thoughts.

thats what i figured but whats good is since most people dont know how to turn it off it leaves my 4g network wide open haha. even though my phone wont boot again now after trying to boot with no sim card in it, back to the forums i go.

how does one force 4g mode from lte?

I get no more than 12mb down/9mb up in Margate/Coconut Creek/Boca Raton, FL area and that is at NIGHT when no one is on. During the day, the HSPA+ is faster.

I usually get 10-15 mbps in Tulsa Ok. I have seen 50+ a couple times. Unfortunately I don't get LTE anywhere I go on a daily basis. I can get it by going 2 blocks south of my house, but my daily commute takes me north away from any coverage. Still happy enough with hspa+ as I usually get 4-5 mbps which is plenty fast to do anything I really need to do on my phone.

what does that do? if it turns off lte somehow ( please include how ), then how would it then be reversed to turn lte back on?

Net10 now unlimited?

I just got wind of Net10 and apparently they're offering unlimited data with AT&T SIMs.
How's their service? Also I see in the details that no tethering is allowed. How do they know when you tether and what do they do?

I have been on a straight talk sim for almost a year now. 45.00 a month unlimited!!! Im running both this device, and my butterfly s on it. I get the exact same service as if i were using att!! For less than half the price! Net 10 is the exact same service, hspa+ speeds, which is fast enough for me, i do all my downloading and youtubing off my wifi at home. One thing to note is that the data part is NOT truly unlimited. If u stream videos, and dl large files, they will throttle u until the next month. And if it happens to often, they will disconnect u for good. But for me.....i couldnt b happier, like i said im constantly on wifi for the data part of it.
