TMOBILE needs to step their game up.

"Apparently users are seeing a dramatic increase in speeds over the EDGE network a mere hours before the iPhone is set to launch. Some are reporting speeds of up to 200Kbps."

yep, few people on here are reporting it in their area: http://blackberryforums.rabroad.com/35039-8300_got_faster_anyone_else.html
it is definately welcomed since they don't offer HSDPA/UMTS here
 
All I can say is that I would love to know what the hell TMO is doing. I work for them and I feel like they are putting all of their eggs in one basket with the T-Mobile @ Home thing. Using wifi to make calls is going to pull a lot of stress off of the network but if they wait until that catches on and then begin to upgrade we are going to be blown away.
I really think that they have something sneaky that they are working on. If everyone remembers TMo bought a bunch of licenses for a new spectrum 2200mhz something. They have said to all employess that "we are not doing anything with that spectrum" and that they are focusing on call quality and minutes and not on internet speeds. I think that it is all BS and they are working on soemthing fantastic ...... OR they are setting themselves up to be purchased. Anyone hiring I need another job!
 
i just did a speed test right now and its at 95 kbit/sec. with the orb speed test its at 117 kb/s. last night i was getting 480 kb/s though. maybe the systems bogged down now with all the new iphone customers. my friend works at one of the apple stores and he said that they sold around 600 iphones in the few hours he was working.
 
Funny thing, my phone dislplays T-Mobile but when I run a dianostic test under mobile network options it tells me I'm connected to AT&T. You folks should try the same, you may be surprised. I 've seen a speed boost on my 8700.
 
T-Mobile just got FCC approval on a 3G handset. Announced on Phone Scoop yesterday. I can't imagine that RIM isn't already working on a 3G unit but just waiting for both US carriers to have 3G running for trials and launch.

I just got my phone and its a whopping 24kbps... My Tethered Puter coughs just trying to download my Google homepage. TMo said I could upgrade my service for another $20/mo and drive to Starbucks HotSpots everyday if I wanted to join the rest of society.

with what money? =0?

they sunk a lot of resources into purchasing the spectrum. I'm sure they are working on something, but the question is, when will it drop? 09? 10?
 
With the money their parent company Duetch Telecom (sp?) is pouring into the system. They are scheduled to launch 3G in mid '08. DT is attempting to get the Red-Headed stepchild into the new network as fast as possible.

I'll believe it when I see it because so far it doesn't seem much headway is being made and with less than 1 year to go from nothing to a rollout launch seems like wishful thinking at best.
 
Regarding DT- word on the street that financially they could be doing alot better if they ran their ship a little tighter, their staff is bloated and they are carrying alot of dead weight. Apparently German labor laws forbids them from simply laying off people. So the fight has to become to make the staff more productive.

Regarding TMO Yeah they are focusing on @ home which makes some sense. Show how your communication can be seamless and then BASH the public over the head with a 3G or better announcement. Just my opinion on the matter.

Regarding 3G- isn't UTMS faster? what about newer systems and technologies that can expand not only speed but overall service and content deliverly? Because that is what the next step will be full content delivery.
