notice keywords "could" and "theoretical". as the networks stand currently, i am not wrong. also, yes...what phone you are using does play a part in speeds. however, coverage is also a concern. please notice the differences in coverage area between the two companies. thanks for the info though.

youre not reading the link correctly 7.2 theortical is what they have now.
Directly from the link
"HSPA 7.2 (faster 3G data service) is
now enabled across T-Mobile's entire 3G network"
You have to do your research on hspa+ which allows up to 21mpbs, which is what they were using before they went lte in europe. hspa+ is coming this summer which offers faster speeds. like i was saying people are getting on average 9mbps in philly.
Directly from the link.
"HSPA+ delivers mobile broadband speeds with a home broadband-like experience.
T-Mobile customers in Philadelphia already have access to the faster speeds that HSPA+ delivers. Our network upgrade efforts are well underway and we’ll share more details as the service becomes available to customers"
