T-Mobile is planning to advance its whole 3G network to offer faster 7.2Mbps HSPA(INFO) data speeds. The company’s 3G network currently covers about 170 million people in the United States, and should cover 200 million by the end of the year. T-Mobile also announced that it is planning a “broad national deployment” of even faster HSPA+ technology by the middle of 2010. T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network is theoretically capable of 21Mbps a peak download speed that is remarkably faster than the existing 3G networks in the country can offer. An HSPA+ trial is already running in the Philadelphia market.
