�T-Mobile has rolled out HSPA+ service to more than 25 major metropolitan areas in four month�s time, as we drive towards having the most pervasive mobile broadband network delivering 4G speeds in the country,� said Neville Ray, senior vice president of Engineering and Operations for T-Mobile USA. �T-Mobile is delivering unprecedented value to our customers with the availability of a super-fast mobile broadband experience combined with compelling and affordable devices and data plans.�
T-Mobile�s rapidly expanding HSPA+ mobile broadband footprint makes it easy for customers to enjoy 4G speeds on the HSPA+-enabled T-Mobile� webConnect Rocket� USB Laptop Stick. In addition, T-Mobile currently has 15 3G devices that can benefit from enhanced speeds when they�re on the HSPA+ network, including the newest smartphone available from T-Mobile today � the Nokia E73 Mode.
T-Mobile has made considerable progress in the number of areas with faster mobile broadband � and expects to continue this aggressive pace to deliver HSPA+ speeds in 100 major metropolitan areas with backhaul in place, covering 185 million people in the U.S. by the end of this year.
�With the rapid expansion of its HSPA+ network this year, T-Mobile is in a great position of being able to deliver high-speed data service to a broader number of customers today,� said Peter Jarich, principal analyst, Wireless Infrastructure, Current Analysis. �Ultimately, consumers don�t care what technology powers the network they�re using � they care about the quality and experience of their mobile data service, the cost of those services, and the devices available to access them. HSPA+ has the potential to deliver higher data rates across a broader lineup of devices in the next one to two years than competing technologies.�
