Re: T-Mobile HSPA 7.2mbps peak downloads

That was in Europe. T-Mobile is in the same boat as At&t is with HSPA. They upgraded all their software on their cell sites, but they're still working on getting the backhaul to those sites.

I usually get 1.5-2mb down on At&t (who also just upgraded to the 7.2mbps).

So really, the only time you would see the higher speeds is if you're in an area that has very little usage on that site when you're trying to use it, otherwise you'll max out at the 3.2mbps and you'll be lucky if you see that.

With that said, both At&t and T-Mobile have said they are going to spend quite a bit of money to improve the backhaul this year, so things should continue to get better.
