Only Edge/GPRS here

I'm gonna be going to class tomorrow morning on Hall Rd, so I'll see if it's out there yet. If it's not I doubt it's on.

update: i get a working 3G signal on hall rd near macomb. its spotty once i get into mcc's parking lot but it does work and it is quite fast!

I think im getting a lil bit of 3g love in detroit ...im near southfield fwy and ford rd...only thing is it keeps switching between edge and 3g in the middle of downloads which renders the download unsuccessful...but the way the pages load faster is pretty schweet...not as fast as wifi but fast enough for when not near a wireless hotspot...once the 3g network becomes a lil stronger, we should be getting some pretty good speeds...

I was able to get 3G at Livernois and Walton in Rochester but not at Tienken and Livernois. Even was I was connect, it was going back and forth between 3G and Edge. I might get down to Southfield this week, I'm curious to see how 3G is there.

I'm surprised coverage goes so far down river and so close to Ann Arbor just at launch.

A good surprised though!

3G coverage in the Detroit area was recently added to the T-Mobile coverage map. it goes out pretty far.
