Video: AT&T LG Vu vs T-Mobile t819: Speed Test

Saturday, August 02, 2008Just to clarify - When on a 3G network you are provided a service. For example, Voice, 128k data, 384k data, HSDPA etc. So customer X can have a voice plan and be allowed to use data up to 128k. If customer X wants to pay more then a service is authorized lets say at 384k. So, T-Mobile has launched a voice centric 3G network in NYC at this time. Therefore your speed test is limited to the account's authorized data speed. They are still in the process of optimizing their network and until you see data plans being marketed that service will be restricted. If comparing apples to apples here, given the fact that ATT has more customers then theoretically T-Mo will win since their network would be less loaded (since it is new) ATT has had 3G launched and optimized already. Therefore of course their network will be faster. Look for more T-Mobile 3G by Christmas to stuff your stockings. In the end, 3G is 3G and your data rate will be relative to the signal quality on your phone. You must be near a site and in an optimized network to get good throughput for ATT, for T-Mo or any carrier for that matter.

7/13/2008 5:14:07 PMatt has better phones by far. tmobile service when it comes to call quality is better. att sucks in chicago and is the master of dropped calls. i can connect to web sites on my sidekick better than the phones in the vid. when will the rest of the country have 3g and tmobile needs a new line of phones.

7/4/2008 2:47:48 AMKinda apples to oranges, eh?

6/26/2008 7:09:14 PMNot really sure how accurate this video is. I have T Mobile in Arizona, where 3G hasnt even launched yet for T Mobile..and my Blackberry Pearl 8120 connected faster that both of those phones did in that video.

6/24/2008 2:07:32 PMim not talking about their phones... all companies have somethin 2 offer when it comes to phones... Im talking about the actual service.

6/24/2008 4:09:54 AMwhat are you talking about tmobile is and has some good phones and so does att but it really does matter cause they both have there ups and down

6/14/2008 9:32:52 PMStop making excuses for T-mobile! they SUCK! they never have good signal... not that your in NEW YORK and tmobile has 1 bar and att has full signal! att is wayy better so stop comparting them
