Philly has 90MHz of total spectrum so they can have 20x20MHz of LTE and the HSPA+42

Yea Clewiston is the boonies it can get 20x20MHz but you know how they serve those cities sometimes ,someone from Muck City might even steal the fiber running throughJK no hate on Pahokee

Then they even have 30MHz left over but current LTE only goes up to 20x20MHz wonder what kind of speed LTE-Advanced will give you with 35x35MHz :adore:Aww yea the best of both worlds!!!

at least I will have voice tooIf anyone wants to know if their market is capable of getting 20x20MHz LTE or just what amount just comment your city and I'll let you know.
My area Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade County will all be limited to 10x10MHz
How bout Los Angeles?
Dallas/FT Worth area.
On a side note, I checked my hidden settings earlier today and it said my phone was still on the 5mhz bandwidth/spectrum or whatever the correct terminology.
How do we check this?

Then field test
Scroll to Channel BW
* After field test you might have to click something that's says like screen maybe aflick can clear that up

Well I think they were talking about BYOD but I think metro gave out the materials and such to everybody because since metro focuses on mainly urban areas all the urban areas are supplied with tmo 4G but there are a few exceptions

Yes, there is an area that says screen and you tap that.
Edit: oh and you do need to be on 4G when you check, cause I tried it when I was on WiFi and everything was blank.

T-Mo Press Release on how fast the Metro migration is going. (I'd think this means they must be at least half done or why would they be bragging earlier than that? )
Only one real SPECIFIC that I think we didn't already know.
The new Metro GSM S3 goes on sale this Monday.
