Having said all of that, I will concede that T-Mobile's HSPA+ network AFAIK gets faster data than Sprint's WiMax, but neither are even close to ATT's LTE.
@orangekid
1)I'm willing to bet that T-mobile will have LTe here in Chicagoland before sprint does (Wi-max ends a block before my house and is spotty before that) especially considering that their 3G here is even worse.

2)LTe or HSPA+?

3) it might be the unlimited data and tetherers that are crippling their network, plus the fact that there are TONS of MVNOs on their towers. I have the 10GB plan on Tmo so I'm fine with it. Plus when I'm throttled I can still do things that I couldn't do on sprint 3G except watch Latina booty shaking videos. So I'm perfectly fine with HSPA right now.
