T-Mobile USA has announced the continued expansion of its HSPA+ network in the Northeastern U.S. and other major cities across the country. As the company continues to broaden its HSPA+ network in the New York City metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Long Island, T-Mobile announced the further build-out and availability of its network in adjoining regions, including Upstate New York, Connecticut and Providence, R.I.
Using the HSPA+ wireless technology standard, the T-Mobile network currently delivers theoretical peak download speeds of 21Mbps.
Already live in Philadelphia, as well the Washington DC suburbs, T-Mobile's HSPA+ network will expand into Boston and Washington, D.C. in the coming weeks. In addition, customers in Memphis, Tenn., and Las Vegas, also now can stay connected on T-Mobile's mobile broadband network.
T-Mobile's HSPA+ mobile broadband network now covers more than 30 million Americans. With an aggressive build-out plan, T-Mobile expects to make further significant leaps in the coming weeks and months to deliver 4G speeds in 100 major metropolitan areas, covering 185 million people in the U.S. by the end of this year.
"Our competitors are asking consumers to pay more for faster wireless service with limited coverage and very few capable devices," said Neville Ray, senior vice president of Engineering and Operations for T-Mobile USA. "In contrast, T-Mobile is already delivering 4G speeds today to customers and we continue to make major leaps in expanding our HSPA+ mobile broadband footprint."
T-Mobile currently has 5.2 million customers using 3G-capable converged devices on the network, a 33 percent increase in smartphone adoption since the end of 2009 and expects to increase that number to 8 million by the end of the year.
