Considering how big New York is, their might not be a clear answer. Best thing is to flash them one by one, and find out for yourself.

Since am also in NYC of them all that I've tested to be so called the "best" is the note radio uvlg3 then the newest uvlh5 blaze radio..

Sit on your couch. Download a few radios, get the signal strength app, flash a radio, check your dBm and download speeds.
This sort of thing varies for everyone and there is never a clear cut answer.

+1 also touchwiz roms tend to naturally have faster data speeds than aosp...just something to consider.

Don't really run cm10 mods too many bugs but that's good to know. And for some reason anytime I flashed a cm or aokp aosp rom my phone would get super hot with Normal use, but not with tw roms. Weird.

Someone posted a cm10 4.2.1 room up earlier for Tmobile i downloaded and tried flashing but didn't work so i deleted it went back to redownload it again thinking it might be a bad file and it was gone? Dunno seems weird to me but hey stranger things have happened lol
Can't wait to try it out,

Probably a test build for someone and it wasn't good so they removed. And just a friendly heads up, I wouldn't do that again unless you are very comfortable with what you're doing, or don't mind spending the cash to fix it afterwards. Patience is your friend

Kasper has a build that boots up and is running but has some issues; Camera, bluetooth, I'm guessing other HW issues also.
If you can't find it yourself you have no business asking where to find it.

You're suppose to flash a modem separately. Roms don't bring a modem with them.

It took a while to load a Web page and would oscillate between 3g and 4g. Now it's stable and fast. My 3g seems more useful too whereas before 3g was equivalent to no data at all.

The new radio is a lot better. I have considerably better speeds up to almost two megabits down on evdo. The statement that the os itself probably didn't change a ton except how the speeds are reported is true though.

Seems like they would've addressed the inferior radios before JB. Makes me think it was a form of throttling.

Took HTC and Sprint forever to address the lousy radio on the EVO3d when it was released. I was surprised when I went from a Transform to a 3d and was surprised by the slower loading webpages... Yeah not a fun experience to get a faster phone to be hobbled by the actual firmware.

They probably try to do as few otas as possible, to minimize costs and technical errors. Perhaps Qualcomm released new stuff, but I doubt sprint, one of the slower networks, would want to throttle their devices.

Radios can make your performance worse as well. Perhaps flash an old one from zv7,8, or 9

You can customize a lot with xposed on touchwiz. Just do a nandroid backup first....I find xposed can mess stuff up sometimes if you're unlucky with certain changes.
