T-Mobile shows NO LOVE for Raleigh, NC!

[Blairware]

T-Mobile has no planned HSPA+ coverage for the "Triangle" in North Carolina?

WTF?

I went and checked the new HSPA+ Maps and coverage again. MAN! I live in the Capital of North Carolina (agreeable not exactly a HUGE Metropolis, LOL!) but it IS where Research Triangle Park is, Home to a fair amount of the East Coasts Tech Companies Lucent, Ericsson, VMware, Network Appliance Etc. (IBM where I work has 12,000 ppl here)

If Sprint can put their 4G Wimax here in Raleigh, why are we not even on the "coming soon" maps for TMOUS? I mean, they don;t even have PLANS to implement here? Meanwhile, the HAVE coverage in other places in the state, such as:

Charlotte?
Winston-Salem?
Fayetteville ??
Greensboro????

I mean, Fayetteville?

AARRRRGGGHHH!

I have been scouring these board for a long time, I came out of hiding for this one.

I'm in Raleigh too, I saw that map last week, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I can see Charlotte, it is a big city with a lot of people.
I can see Fayetteville, It is home to a bunch of military who deploy frequently.
I can maybe see Winston-Salem, that is the VA's main medical facility, and a lot of govt buildings.

But seriously, Greensboro???? WTF?

Ya it suks, but I just did a speed test (speakeasy) within RTP and I get 3mbps down and 1.5 up, which really is faster than what i'm getting with roadrunner crap at home. (unfortunately I don't get full HSDPA at home, especially downstairs, or else I would just use the phone instead).

Hopefully they'll roll out HSDPA+ in RTP at the start of 2011.

I just read the post and the first thing in my head was chicago got it just a week ago. One of the largest cities in the states. They have a LOT of work set out for them. Give it time.
