T-Mobile was the last carrier to enable 4G LTE wireless data into service, but it looks like as of today, it’s not just limited to a few cities in a few states. According to Twitter and emails sent to many tech sites, there have been numerous sightings of LTE in Dallas, Denver, and Wichita. With this news, it looks like 4G LTE for T-Mobile is spreading fast.
T-Mobile itself is looking to cover 100 million POPs by summers end, and is limited to only seven official markets. Before today, it was only live in 9 different cities; Denver, Las Vegas, Kansas City, New Orleans, New York, Phoenix, San Diego, San Jose, and Seattle.
Verizon and AT&T were the first to the scene with 4G LTE. Now that T-Mobile is slowly making its rounds in major cities across America, they’ll likely find that more people may opt to switch to them based on their plans and coverage. The speeds we are seeing again appear to be averaging 25Mbps down and 8Mbps up with a 40ms latency, which is exactly what we saw before.
Although T-Mobile is the last major player to the ballgame of 4G LTE, we do expect a full rollout very soon, at which point you too, wherever you may live city-wise in the USA, will be able to join the 4G LTE crowd. As for the rest of you who live in rural areas, you can expect a rollout to almost all of you by mid 2014. At least according to T-Mobile. Add in their 4G LTE with a new UNcarrier plan and you’ll be set. A full list can be found below.

NY and NO, Really?
I guess my Nexus 4 is lying to me.
The Nexus 4 is HSPA+ bud.. Not LTE
unless he flashed a rom with the right radio setting then you can make the LTE function on the Nexus 4 work (it does have LTE radio,not sure why its not turned on though) , or make it work if you have 4.2.1 i believe
Google intentionally disabled the 4gLTE radio because the Nexus 4 didn’t go through the FCC as am LTE device.
That and apparently it’s only very select LTE radios at that. Not all. So it won’t be all that useful.

I live in the Twin Cities in Minnesota and have had T-Mobiles LTE for about a month now. I can also confirm that speeds are around 25Mbps down. I did reach 29Mbps down and 19Mbps up the other day.
I’m seeing rolllout of LTE fro T-Mo in parts of SF as well.
what parts have you seen it? i’d like to try it out but haven’t noticed it in SF yet….
Mostly downtown near Union Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, and random areas off of Mission street further south near Richland Ave.
also parts of Stockton Street, up and down Chinatown
Lte showed up on my phone in Dallas earlier today! Love it
Have only 1-2 bars of LTE here in Englewood, CO. Speeds are usually 25Mbps. I did get one that was 36600.
It started today in Dallas and I hope these speeds would be consistent. Love LTE on Tmobile, it was definitely worth the wait.
