4G...Any time ATT.
I can get 5 Mbps download pretty much everywhere but home and work. Where it drops down to 1.5 Mbps. So I'm figuring if my speed drops this low now, chances are I won't be in a good 4G coverage area when ATT officially fires it up.
I'm wondering because having recently used a HTC G2, TMO's coverage maybe less but man it's FAST! and it's strong, no drops in speed at home or work. And now with their free phone offer...well. 😳
LTE 4G is being trialed in Dallas, TX and Baltimore, MD now and will be launched mid year covering 70-75 million people by the end of the year.
the actually 4G is still on the final phase in japan
HSPA+ and LTE is really 3G advanced
LTE advanced is going to be the REAL 4G.
It will allow you 1GB download!

Do your research fanboi.
Those would be the HTC Inspire available Feb 13th, and the Motorola Atrix available March 6th.
If you're getting 5 mbps in most areas the network is beefed up in your area, that's above the network average which a little over 3.
Even in the areas where the signal isn't as strong you should see some speed increase.
