T-Mobile USA and Nokia have announced Long Term HSPA Evolution, a new mobile data standard that promises speeds over 650 Mbps.
Commercial deployment of the standard is expected as soon as 2013.
The current HSPA+ "4G" network offered by T-Mobile in the United States offers speeds of up to 21 Mbps, and the carrier says those speeds will be doubled to 42 Mbps next year.

"It?s as if McGruff the Crime Dog snuck into our basement, enlisted an army of cellar rats to eat up all of our cheese, and then burned the house down when we finally locked him out ? instead of just knocking on the front door to tell us the window was open." ~Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback
I wish my internet provider had speeds like that.
I could imagine d\ling at that speed... *drools*
The college has a optical line near here with speeds in excess of 10gb per second. If I could tap into that, then i would wet myself! :D

Always claims of what they could offer, rather than what they do offer. Sure, you could give 21Mbps, but instead you give! How about actually using your 3G network at rated speeds instead of spending billions on new equipment that will be held back to run at sub-3G speeds anyway? Spend that money on adding bandwidth to the existing 3G network!

Obviously they can?t extend 3rd generation that is why they are upgrading to 4G, all providers. I will be able to get Sprint 4G at rates of 700Mbps now, if not soon, and then I can get rid of my current ISP and have my home and mobile network/ISP through Sprint. So if I travel no worries I?ll always have hookup to the internet and still have a home network running on it too. Also 4G is much cheaper than 3G and has no rate/time limits like 3G.
