It lets the signal get so weak before it switches over that I can't hold my VPN connection.

PCWorld says based on their tests, they believe most of the carriers are allowing their 3G speeds to decline versus last year, so they can focus on building up 4G. So if someone has a 3G-only phone, they're getting fucked. PCWorld said average speeds are down 7-8% versus year ago. Last edited by Homeslice; 04-20-2011 at 09:27 AM.. |

I dont use it very often. Only if my wifi is tied up with some upload/download gimmicks. But it's faster than 3G for sure. But a waste of $$, IMO.

What are they charging for 4G along with your voice plan and does that include the WiFi hotspot feature?

Tmobile 4g is wiked fast when on 4g, and near any pop center I get 4g service. I haven't seen myself kicked off when switching from 4g to 3g or the other way around. The only thing I do notice is a5 second pause then it picks right back up. on my last phone with 3g it would take at least as long as the video to download a youtube video. With 4g it takes seconds for each minute of video. I also have video chat which on 3g is pixelated and a bit behind the audio, on 4g it is in tune with the audio and gives a crappy cell picture that would have ben considered great 3 years ago.
I have stopped taking my laptop when I travel for work. Plus the phone acts as a wifi hotspot for no extra charge. I changed the wifi name to your moms porno after I Had someone randomly try to connect. Once in a while the technology makes a huge jump, for me the 2 recent jumps were the upgrade to a smart phone 3 years ago and now the upgrade to 4g. One of those can't go back now thing. |
