According to an announcement by T-Mobile, the company has expanded the availability of their faster HSPA+ wireless broadband upgrades. The faster service is theoretically capable of speeds up to 21 Mbps, though of course users in real-world settings are seeing substantially less. Still, T-Mobile’s confident enough in the speeds they’re delivering to claim they’re now offering “4G speeds” in their press release, even though the technology they’re using isn’t 4G. The company’s release notes expansion in a number of markets, many of them in the northeast:

According to T-Mobile, their HSPA+ network now covers more than 30 million users, and the company plans to deliver “4G speeds” to roughly 185 million people before the end of the year. As for actual T-Mobile 4G service, the company is still weighing its options.
