T-Mobile Snags A Bit More 700MHz Spectrum

Aug 12, 2014, 12:57 PM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile recently asked the FCC for permission to buy spectrum licenses from Actel, a company owned by CenturyLink. The deal includes 13 licenses that cover various small cities in portions of Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. The total number of POPs contained in the markets is about 6.5 million. T-Mobile told the FCC the purchase will help it improve its service offering to customers in those regions. No terms were disclosed in the FCC filing. T-Mobile also recently agreed to snap up another small sliver of 700MHz spectrum from I-700 A Block. Those licenses cover Evansville, Ind., and Henderson and Paducah, Ky.

Keep trying

Your network really is abysmal. Once out of a more densely populated area, can't even get 3G. EDGE all the way. 🙄

Yeah, but if you never leave the city it's great. Unlimited high speed LTE data for $70 a month, not bad, and 3G/4G is starting to appear in a lot more places - it's pretty damn reliable when it's there.
