At&t & T-Mobile Upgrades to HSPA 7.2Mbps



T-Mobile recently announced that its entire 3G network (the smallest of the large US carriers) has recently been upgraded to 7.2Mbps HSPA, with plans to begin rolling out 21Mbps HSPA+ soon. We’re not sure if anyone is seeing the 7.2Mbps speeds yet, so far reports have been sketchy. While some are reporting improvements, nothing major has been reported.

Today, At&t announced that is has completed the first half of its upgrade to 7.2Mbps HSPA. They’ve upgraded the software at the cell sites, but the expensive part, getting the backhaul there, will still be coming with hopes of completing it for the majority of their 3G network by the end of the year. “The backhaul process has already begun in the initial test markets of Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami”.
