3G isn't used as a back haul. (Thank God.)
Well I misstyped I guess lol I meant as a backfall a d I wrote back haul lol

Fall back?
Lol I'm tired lol can't you tell
I just bummed that I literally JUST GOT my Captivate, which means I'm SOL on the Inspire. I want it. I want to spend money on it. But being a married man, my wife doesn't understand the spending of money on better technologies and just flat out wont let me. Maybe I should just start setting money aside. I doubt she'll tell the difference. It's only bigger... ah. I can only dream.
If you bought the Captivate from AT&T, you have 30 days to try it out. If you don't like it, you can return it within that time period with no penalty. Here's the link: AT&T Returns Policy - Wireless from AT&T.
I bought my Captivate less than 2 weeks ago and am thinking about returning it for the 4G.
.There's a lot of talk about 4G and wireless network technologies these days. And in a 4G world, speed matters.
At AT&T, we know speed. We've delivered five speed upgrades to our mobile broadband network in recent years. Today we offer the nation's fastest mobile broadband network and our goal is to maintain that leadership.
"The fastest mobile broadband network will win in the long run. That's why we intend to lead, and we're going to lead very aggressively, in deploying fourth generation technologies," said Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson at a recent webcast with general managers.
Independent drive tests show that right now, AT&T has the nation's fastest mobile broadband network. And we're making the network even faster. We've just completed our HSPA+ upgrade to virtually 100 percent of our mobile broadband network. When this network enhancement is combined with enhanced backhaul, we are seeing 4G speeds today — up to approximately 6 Mbps — in areas of key markets. Our network teams are pushing hard to add expanded backhaul as quickly as possible.
So right now, we're the fastest and getting even faster with 4G.
Our path to 4G leadership will continue with a technology called Long Term Evolution, which builds on our existing network technologies. We're currently trialing LTE in Dallas and Baltimore and expect to begin deployment midyear, reaching 70 — 75 million people by the end of this year. We expect our build out will be largely complete by the end of 2013. Our customers will have a super-fast LTE experience ... and when they aren't on our LTE network, they will still enjoy a more consistent and fast mobile broadband experience with HSPA+ with expanded backhaul, something our competitors won't be able to match.
"We're going to be very unique," Stephenson said. "We're the only company in the U.S. that's pairing HSPA+ with LTE. This is going to be an important differentiator for us over the next couple of years."
And here's a biggie: when some competitors' customers travel out of the limited 4G coverage areas, they will fall back to slower network speeds. And some of our competitors don't yet support simultaneous voice and data, so if they're using an application when a call comes in, what happens to the app?
Our rollout is timed with the anticipated widespread availability of 4G devices capable of handling faster network speeds. In fact, by the end of this year, we plan to have 20 4G devices available. And AT&T is the only national wireless provider committed to using both HSPA+ and LTE technologies.
Bottom line? Our plan lets us lead in the 4G transition, offering our customers the most advanced mobile broadband experience because of our fast network and great lineup of 4G devices and applications. Fast now. Faster in the future — means 4G leadership.
im doing it Inspire 4G here I come!!!!
I saw a vido last night on youtube where they were test the data speed on the so called 4g inspire. The guy tried speed test and fcc. I wasnt impressed. Im on a custom 2.2 rogers rom with a jk4 modem. My speeds last night were over 3 mb down and 1.5 up. TThe guy testing the Inspire got the same speeds. He was in St Paul, mn and Im in Michigan. I even pinged the site in Chicago on the fcc app (about 300 miles away) and got the same speeds. I rather wait for lte if anything.
You DO understand that the 4G device is running on 3G right now, right? You won't get the higher speed unless you're in a metro area, or until LTE gets released. No reason to call it a "so called 4G" Inspire.
With all due respect.
ATT is not true 4G. It is hspa+ which is what the Captivate should of had in the first place.
EXACTLY.
This current generation of LTE/WiMAX doesn't even have speeds that blow away (if exceed) 14MBPS. 5 years down the line, probably different story, but as of right now, it is close enough to a 4G network and I doubt I would be able to tell much of a difference (as in zero effect to daily usage) to influence a decision.
Plus if I am not incorrect, AT&T's HSPA+ network is currently larger than Sprint's WiMax and Verizon's LTE. Better coverage should help influence that decision as well.

You DO understand the inspire 4g doesn't have an LTE radio, right?
With all do respect.
HTC Inspire? 4G at AT&T
Didn't know that. I haven't seen all of the specs yet. That's mybad. Should have just specified 4G
It happens. Try not to be cocky though, especially if you don't know all they easily available facts.
Not trying to be cocky at all.
