T-Mobile’s 3G network rollout seems to really be gaining steam. The latest market to get turned on to T-Mobile’s 1700Mhz AWS 3G network is apparently Philadelphia. A Howard Forums user apparently started seeing 3G data speeds yesterday, essentially confirming that T-Mobile decided to flip the 3G-switch on Philly. The “City of Brotherly Love” has got to be loving the “800-1000kbps download and 200-300kbps upload” speeds of their newly minted T-Mobile 3G network.
Philadelphia was expected to go live with 3G “sometime in 2008,” so it’s encouraging to see T-Mobile already lighting-off their 3G towers in the area.
Welcome to the 3G-club, Philadelphia T-Mobile customers (with compatible 3G handsets in tow…)!
