HSPA+ with T-Mobile

[wizmo]

Has anyone else been getting H+ on t-mobiles network?

I've been operating a Pre3 and a Veer (and Palm Pre) on t-mobiles network for many years. In the past few years we are now getting more and more areas covered by 1900Mhz 3G. Cool, but not a noticeable speed increase.

Last week I was in Paris,TX and was getting H+ on my Veer. I'm wondering if this is just some local test or anomaly, or something on a wider scale.

There is ongoing re-farming of T-Mobile's H+ to the 1900 MHz band. They want 1700 for their 4G LTE and they want H+ on 1900 for "Bring Your Own Phone" customers such as unlocked iPhone users.

Here's the Map of 1900 Mhz Re-Farming.


Currently they show no sightings in/around Paris, TX. Maybe you could add a pin?

The re-farming is expected to be complete this summer nationwide. Even if your area is not "officially" listed in the current map, you may be getting sporadic H+. In Miami, the H+ was intermittent for about a month before it was added to the list of cities. BTW, the speeds on TMO's 1900 band are way better than AT&T's. I suspect less congestion but that may change with more users coming on board.

I now get 3G in most big cities, but this is the first time I had H+.

I was assuming that the move to 1900 was only going to give me 3G. So, how come I only get 3G and not H+ in areas that are already farmed? Do I just need more patience, or am I missing a configuration setting on the phone?

Thanks
