Metro's 4G is crap compared to T-Mobile. I get 2-3 Mbps down on my LG Motion. My brother just got an LG L6 (after suffering for two years with an Optimus M haha) and it regularly gets 35 Mbps down. Over 10 times faster than Metro. We both live in the same house and we both have full bars on our phones at all times.

Metro really should be ashamed to refer to their speeds as 'blazing fast'.

What they should do is put an asterisk next to the words' blazing fast' and say **compared to our 1x speeds

My speeds match that of your brothers. I am on Metro PCS. Same speeds in San Diego and San Clemente . Something is wrong with your setup. How are your speeds in other locations ?

Remember some places are combined some aren't. My county is combined but I don't think the one right to the north of me is.

Set my aio phone on throttle next to my roomstes straight talk phone on throttle and I see 4 times the speed. Just sayin. Not all throttles are equal.

Both gsm, both lte, both at&t sims

Which phones were they exactly? There are different categories for LTE and HSPA...

The T999L is the LTE capable S3 they had released the T999 when there were no plans of rolling out LTE

But the newer ones tho

Gman9831 · Apr 25, 2014

It's going to be good for the BYOD market next year since basically all carriers will be releasing tmo LTE compatible phones. All of the big 4 will have AWS and PCS phones. Sprint, Tmo, ATT will have 700MHz B12 phones

the iphone 5 and up has tmo LTE, and the note 3 does too, and the s4, anything else verizon related

If he gets a tmobile note 2 he will get hspa and lte from what I remember...

I've read these threads and am super happy you posted this one answering everyone's questions.

I just want to clarify for my final phone decision:

I'm looking at buying a Note 3 from T-Mobile. I've done my research and a lot of people have it working on Metro yet it isn't on their "Bring Your Own Phone" list. Almost everyone I see that have successfully established their phone on Metro's network did so by just calling metro to switch their phone. I was just wondering if anyone here has had luck in getting them to use your Note 3.

Thanks guys!
