T-Mobile HSPA+ coming March 14 Speeds upto 21 MBps

 

 

T-Mobile might call their new HSPA+ network “4G” they were very quick to point out that was not the case. T-Mobile chose to inform us of their network upgrade schedule and said they would “integrate HSPA+ into its 3G network with broad national deployment planned for this year.”

T-Mobile has apparently decided to refer to HSPA+ as Very Fast Mobile Web according to some leaked documents on TmoNews. The flavor of HSPA+ that T-Mobile is using maxes out at 21 Mbps and they claim it will offer “home broadband like speeds on the go”.

The first device from T-Mobile to support HSPA+ will be the webConnect Rocket which launches on March 14. The device will only be sold in pilot markets where HSPA+ service Installed. We believe this is part of the backhaul upgrade that T-Mobile revealed last month.

The pilot markets for the HSPA+ webConnect Rocket include:

• Dallas, TX
• Miami, FL
• Los Angeles, CA
• Chicago, IL
• and maybe Philadelphia, PA (current test market for HSPA+)

Pricing information for the webConnect Rocket and Very Fast Mobile Web data plans we yet to be announced.
