The past few months have been quite crazy for T-Mobile. The company has simply been unable to keep up with its rivals. The fact that it does not offer iPhones yet has not been positive for the company’s fortunes. T-Mobile is soldiering on and is expected to launch a LTE network in 2012. That is part of the company’s new $1.4b network modernization investment plan for the next couple of years.

In 2012 and 2013, T-Mobile USA will invest to get the business back to growth, including an incremental $1.4 billion investment in its network modernization initiative, which will total a $4 billion investment over time

said Philipp Humm, CEO and President, T-Mobile USA. T-Mobile has been struggling a lot lately. It has experienced net customer losses of 526,000 in the 4th quarter of 2012. Other figures are not that pretty either. The company is blaming that partially on the fact that it does not have the iPhone 4S:

The sequential and year-on-year increase in customer losses is a result of intense competitive pressure from the launch of the iPhone 4S by three nationwide competitors in the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition, higher connected device deactivations contributed significantly to the net customer loss in the fourth quarter of 2011, including a nearly 265,000 deactivation related to one customer with a yearly service revenue impact of less than $1 million.

T-Mobile was planning to merge with AT&T before the move was stopped by the regulators. The spectrum gained from AT&T as the break up fee should help T-Mobile a bit. Of course, better phone selections could always help T-Mobile stop the bleeding.

T-Mobile lets you gobble data as fast as you can

Official statement: no speed capMobile phones News By John McCann Friday at 16:37 UTC | Tell us what you think [ 3 comments ]

Tweet Ready, steady, download!

A spokesperson for T-Mobile has confirmed the company does not cap data download speeds on its new Full Monty tariff, or any of its other data plans.

Rumours sprung up soon after T-Mobile announced its unlimited data tariff claiming the network provider would cap data download speeds at 1Mb/s.

T-Mobile refuted the claims telling TechRadar: "We can confirm that we do not have a 1Mb/S maximum data download speed in place for The Full Monty plan – nor for any of our other pay monthly or pay as you go price plans".

Best in class?

The spokesperson went on to say: "We are confident that our average data speeds are as good, if not better, than anyone else in the industry."

T-Mobile boasts the widest 3G coverage in the UK which should make its new 'Full Monty' tariff popular among those who steam through mobile data.

"T-Mobile joined forces with Orange in 2010 giving customers free access to each other's signal and coverage. Further to this, thanks to the 'big 3G switch on' last year, we now offer our customers the UK's widest 3G coverage. We are constantly developing our network, and recently announced we're investing a further £1.5billion in network improvements over the next three years."

It's expected some the £1.5billion of investment will go towards developing the network ready for 4G after Regan Whitehead, Senior Proposition Manager confirmed to TechRadar in a recent interview that the firm is committed to 4G.

So un-twist those knickers and get off the forums, T-Mobile hasn't been pulling the wool over our eyes – go forth and download data!

3. @ sel1700: Try again by trying out the Speedtest app (Android, maybe other platforms). It seems they "may" have unrestricted people who were restricted before, this is in the last day or two.

I've not called T-Mobile and are now getting 1Mbps up to 3.75Mbps. Whereas before I was lucky to get 0.9Mbps.

2. 12 months ago they were telling us that 500MB was enough for anyone and that if we wanted to use the internet, we should 'do that stuff at home..'

Havent trusted them since, and wont be signing a 24mth contract just for them to change the terms out the blue in 12mths. Bring the deal to sim only and i might think about it.
