You weren't expecting to run that nice new Nexus One on T-Mobile's old data network, were you? Along with the release of the Google phone, T-Mobile announced that their network as been fully upgraded to allow faster 7.2Mbps peek download speeds, up from 3.6Mbps. This is a shot to AT&T's recent announcement that they have only upgraded their tower's software to support 7.2Mbps, but the hardware backbone upgrades won't be completed until the end of the year. Let us know what speeds you are getting on your T-Mobile phone and if you notice a difference.

can att really advertise they have the fastest network now? won't that be a false claim?

honestly, i dont think anyone can say anything anymore. sprint says its reliable, but i used to get dropped calls all the time. at&t says its fastest, but im on verizon and its faster. verizon has a good network, but prices are a bit steep for some..

On paper it's a false clam, but T-Mobile currently doesn't have the architecture to even support those speeds on their network. Hell, AT&T barely does as evidenced by the issues their users are having. It's all advertising, all 4 of the carriers.

sure they do, its just tuning of the network. u dont think the towers that they installed 8 months ago were hsdpa capable? its a software upgrade. ATT is doing software and hardware upgrades.. which is why its taking longer.
