Awesome news. Can't wait to see this in action.
which data plan will it available? i mean like i have the unlimited data plan. is that mean i will have unlimited LTE data plan?
Tmo also just announced an LTE variant of the GS3. It is getting serious. So much for guys saying "no LTE until 2014"...

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.

I'm right there with you! Considering our city is one of the biggest in the country we should be getting it not too long after release. We are one of the first receiving upgrades like that. The network reform for example...

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
LTE capability
save loads of $$$$
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.

4g in LI is a secondary market, but I bet they are already starting to change to Network Vision. The whole Island will have 4G LTE by mid to late 2013. As soon as the NYC market is finished your area will get a LTE bath.
I saw on the S4GRU map that Queens and parts of Hempstead was already being worked on for Network Vision.
yeah ive been hoping those predictions are true... i work in queens and am in NYC often, but haven't had to much 1x experiences there yet...
hear NYC should be by the end of this year, so hopefully wont have too long of a wait...
Dying for some LTE in the city and Bx, my phone is pretty much like a dummy model when I'm at work.

Anyone living in the area can tell me if lte is available there? I'll be visiting mickey with the family and I've never experienced lte on sprint b4 since it's not yet available in my area (ft Lauderdale). I'm running paranoid rom and I'm not sure if lte is functional on it. I have a backup of a stock build just in case.

According to Sensorly, there's not any 4G LTE there, yet. When are you going? Because Orlando's LTE sites should be popping up very, very soon.
I was just there last week and no LTE to be found.

You'll most likely have 3g speeds (They're doing work in Orlando). When I went to Disney last year, I had about 450-550 kbps through all of Magic Kingdom. YMMV.

I hope they get SOMETHING there. In April, the 3g was WORTHLESS in the parks. Seriously.
I will say this, when I and the family was at Universal Studios and Disney World for the week, people everywhere were on their phones, and I would say 95% had iPhones. I saw only one person with a GS3.
I had dinner at the California Grill on top of the Contemporary last night (12/29/2012) and got a LTE signal. 11MB down/5up
Not sure if you've been already or not but I got LTE service this morning for the first time I've noticed on 429 for a couple miles at least, I read 11.21up,3.42 down---- 20.27up 6.72down---- 12.14up .75down.
i was in orlando last weekend (universal studios) and the in park coverage was horrid. it was pretty busy so i don't know if it was just the number of people there or what. also i had my roaming off. outside the park, the coverage was ok (3 bars). i don't remember any lte
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.

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

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.

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)
I just switched from Sprint and I have to say that I'm extremely impressed. I'm in Canton, Ohio and Tmobile is faster then both Sprint and Verizon.

I was assume it could be multiple things. Buildings in your area, interference, and the amount of ppl using T-Mobile in your area can all cause you to get less than expected speeds.

Hi ptf, I have the Note II on Sprint and am about to go return it and switch to TMob, are you happy you did? I am only worried about differences in the phone (if there are any negatives) and of course coverage and speeds.
I love that Tmob is GSM since I do travel int. And I can get a small bus plan so my bill is only $50/month compared to $70 w Sprint.

Not too shabby
To contrast, this is on my wifi at home. For shame, Cox.
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.
