    ... am I seeing things? (New Coverage in Wisconsin)

    So. Just got back from Milwaukee with a ZTE and a BB curve. Went to my house and powered the two items up..... they no longer say Airdigm (or the local GSM carrier....) but T-Mobile!

    Is this the beginning of new competition? (I sure hope so, I'm getting sick of USCC following VZWs pricing moves lockstep)

    TIA!

    Probably. They seem to be building out certain areas, should be interesting to see how big the network grows in the coming year or two.

    They have been adding coverage for a while now in Wisconsin. They made Madison Native coverage now and seem to be slowly adding more and more coverage. Always very good to see more coverage. Is it 2g or 3g/4g?

    T-Mobile swapped spectrum with Leap in Wisconsin so they will be building out and probably 3G/4G
    LTE has arrived. The third carrier in Las Vegas with 10x10 LTE coverage

    Coverage will expand to 100 million LTE pops for the first half of 2013, with the second half of 2013 expanding to 200 million POPs covered. Release 10 LTE (2×10, 2×20) will be better performing than all other competitors.
    T-Mobile USA. “This year, we’re stepping on the gas again. We are making continued coverage improvements and launching an advanced LTE network

    What spectrum was swapped between T-Mobile and Leap?
    T-Mobile. Connecting you when you need it most... disconnecting you when you need to connect with God's beautiful creation! Service is great in cities and highways, but in rural areas they leave you with just your surroundings. I encourage you to get T-Mobile, disconnect for a while!

    I am glad that God is not like cell phone coverage. He does not hide behind mountains or loose us down long windy roads. The Lord levels mountains, and He makes our paths straight!

    What city is the new coverage in? Does it show on the coverage map or not? Also, what's up with the random single 3G only tower in Green Bay, has that been there for a while?

    I'm not sure but they got a crap load of aws up there too from the At&t breakup. Going all the way past green bay. They definitely have big plans for you cheeseheads!

    Well, a couple years ago T-Mobile told investors that by year-end 2013, they'd have the US blanketed with 3G... even in areas that are roaming now like here in Montana. I figured the favorable roaming deal that came out of the failed merger with AT&T killed those plans though, I doubt we'll ever see T-Mobile here. Thought it'd be nice... leave only Sprint with no service here (and no licenses either, unless they used ClearWire spectrum or Nextel spectrum)

    T-Mobile has built out a ton in wisconsin. Wisconsin Dells is now native, and it wasn't like 2 years ago. Now its HSPA+

    The map has changed since I last posted that. It used to be 1 3G site surrounded by roaming coverage, now it shows no 3G, but 2 new sites inside Green Bay and Highway 41 and Insterstate 43 have native 2G all the way there. I wish I had taken a screenshot of what it was before. Weird.
