T-mobile EDGE Coverage Map - UPDATED

[Nwahs]

If you use this map, PLEASE report where you do, or do not have EDGE service.
The only way for the map to be more accurate, is with more data from users like you

I will do my best to maintain this map. After a while, it will be fairly complete with everyone's help.

PLEASE REPORT: Where you get EDGE (Zip code preferably) and what speed.

Thank you Brad15 for making and maintaining the map.

This map is a representation of T-mobile user's reports of EDGE service. T-mobile has not released an official map, and this map should represent, to the best of our knowledge, the coverage of T-mobile EDGE

[amyers]

I'm in Columbus, GA and I have EDGE service. How do I find my speed?

[Nwahs]

There are wap speed test sites out there. Go to google and search for "wap speed test" or "EDGE speed test" or something of the sorts and test it out. Chances are, you are 100+ kb

[Nwahs]

I'm in Columbus, GA and I have EDGE service. How do I find my speed?

I added Columbus to the map. Is the blue area larger then I made it? Or smaller? Just lemme know to help me improve the map.
Thanks for reporting.

Thats about right, thanks for adding it.

[scuzzy19]

Im in chicago and I dont get 100+kbs lol thats for sure, I know in 53081 you have access to edge not necessarily T-Mobiles Edge

[Nwahs]

Really? I have traveled to Chicago a lot and I have always gotten EDGE there
I'll just stick it on there that it is disputed so people know

[greenblood]

New York, NY 216kbps
Brooklyn, NY 208kbps
measured through speedtest.net, used Speakeasy server in NY

[anfrey]

here in south bend, EDGE coverage is spodaric, depending on where in town you are. if i have the time, i'll drive around and do a signal sweep

[Nwahs]

Sounds good. You don't have to waste gas for us, but if you want to, go for it!
Just let me know. I can make the color green and mark it as sporadic EDGE coverage.

[redwildebeast]

you can fill in all of san antonio, austin and houston. i cant find one single spot in sa or Austin without edge. and pretty much from houston to the east side of the bay(the bay right to the right on the map) has 100+ edge

[Nwahs]

Added. Thanks Red. Let me know if I'm off at all.

[redwildebeast]

looks good to me.

[snaimon]

Richmond VA has Edge........ Also Tidewater Area (Norfolk, VA Beach, Hampton).. Also Charlottesville. Rural areas in between do not.

Stan

[Matt]

As mentioned on other forum. Bakersfield, Calif has pretty darn good EDGE coverage.

[greenblood]

it appears some areas in New York has faster speed recently
something is likely to happen, it looks like T-Mobile has increased the backbone speed for HSDPA

[AndrewD]

Tampa Fl
and Baltimore MD all 100+ (coverage)

[Nwahs]

These updates will be added, along with ones from my trip, in the next 48 hours. I promise guys

[Ellen]

PA. Suburb areas with EDGE coverage: Bennsalem, Doylestown, Levittown, Holand, Churchville, Newtown, Warrington, Langhorne, Yardley.

[anfrey]

Joliet, IL - EDGE
South Bend, IN - mostly GPRS but some EDGE in town

[djdanska]

I have a few pdf's of edge coverage. I can send to the admin if he wants them. I have Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and New York, and upstate ny. I don't have anywhere to host them. I was given them anonymously.
Milwaukee has edge coverage too. I can tell you that.

Take them if you want them.
http://download.yousendit.com/9DB68DE30726294C

I can tell for sure that it's pretty close to being accurate in chicago. I lose edge in the south west suburbs when i leave I-55 and go on I-80. I Also lose Edge on I-88 (Regan Tollway..Ewww) just past the old dekalb toll plaza. It's gone by the time you get to the new toll plaza they just built. I don't lose edge going north to milwaukee at all. I actually got gprs just a mile or two away from Downtown Chicago for the past month! Madison st at Loomis st. (west loop). I called t-mobile up and they had to "reset the gprs parameters" and should be fixed. Will find out tomorrow night!

[Nwahs]

Alright guys. So a user, who will remain unnamed for now, took the T-mobile coverage map, and put an EDGE coverage map over it. However, we are still working out how we are going to update it, etc...so I will add all your guys's locations to the current one, if that is what we decide to use, or the new one if I put that up. I will let you know whats going on when he gets back to me. Keep the good info coming, this is going to help a lot of people. I'm sure when 3G comes out we'll start up one of those

[cesarrri12]

new york city has the best coverage

[Nwahs]

We got our first Florida report! I was beginning to think we forgot about them.
We should have a very impressive map up soon guys. Keep the reports coming!

[Nwahs]

Hey guys....check out the updated map Brad15 did with T-mobile's old coverage map

[greenblood]

don't forget most of NJ has EDGE as well
EDGE in NYC is fast.....I hit another 100MB usage in just several hours :(

[brad15]

don't forget most of NJ has EDGE as well
EDGE in NYC is fast.....I hit another 100MB usage in just several hours :(

NJ is already blued out (figured it was already there being so close to NY and all)

[redwildebeast]

i am really impressed at the new map. looks great. keep up the good work everyone and we will have the best map around.

[Scooby214]

I can confirm that the Oklahoma City area has solid EDGE coverage. My current 6030 can't utilize EDGE, but my old BB Pearl showed edge throughout the entire city area. T-Mobile really seems to have a good buildout in the Okla. City area.

I can't post a speed, as my current 6030 doesn't have EDGE and wouldn't be able to measure Edge speeds...

[anfrey]

what is "sportty edge?"

[AndrewD]

Confirmed 19046 jenkintown PA 100% EDGE

[djdanska]

53212, milwaukee. full edge. I get about 125-150kbps usually. Has had edge for a while. Not sure how far out it goes. I don't go north of milwaukee.
edit: And chicago is spelled wrong on top. lol.. not a huge deal.

[brad15]

what is "sportty edge?"

it's been reported in a place, where there's EDGE deployed in some ares, but not others..so i just put it as spotty until i get confirmed of solid coverage

[anfrey]

ah ok. make sure you get the R out of there ;)

[browri]

so im very sure that there isnt T-Mobile EDGE in the Reading, PA area (19606)

[groggy23]

Locaton: north Ft. Lauderdale, FL zip 33073

GPRS speed:
66.5 kbit/s (www.dslreports.com/mspeed)
59.3 kbit/s (Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test (http://www.speedtest.net))

I did an average of 6 total readings from dslreports, 3 - 100k, 3 - 600k
I did an average of 3 total readings from speedtest, 3 different servers; recommended Stillwater, OK, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and San Francisco, CA.

All readings were with the V360(unlocked, Euro phone) tethered to an iMac Intel, no programs running on the computer nor any java apps running on the v360 for optimal readings.

So its either no EDGE coverage or my unlocked v360 is limiting it. Any insight from those with a v360?

[greenblood]

will go to Buffalo and Medina (14103 and 14xxx) this weekend
checked the coverage map, I should get a little signal in Medina, will bring W300, which has the best possible reception, and K790, stay tuned

V360 has slower EDGE modem due to 3 dl slots, compared with class 8, 10, 11, 12, which have 4 dl slots

[kilroy1]

Honolulu,Hi and the surrounding islands GPRS

[Railroader]

I can confirm there is EDGE with T-Mobile in the Northern California cities/towns of Redding, Anderson, Red Bluff, Chico, Yuba City and Marysville, but GPRS ONLY between them.

As for me, I'm in Redwood Valley, CA-zip 95470. It's located in Mendocino County, Northwestern California, and is 8 miles north of Ukiah or 115 miles north of San Francisco. I have full EDGE here via AT&T's Affiliate, Edge Wireless, the GSM provider here, I even have EDGE in the middle of the Redwoods!

[groggy23]

Ah well, that explains it. Thanks. Figured it had to do with the v360. Can't complain though, internet wherever I go in the US.

I will be making a road trip from south Florida to DC making a couple of overnight stops. Will post up speeds in those locations. ;)

[anfrey]

i wish we could zoom in on that map...

[Railroader]

Brad, you need to update your map ;) I can give you the zips for the towns I listed if you need them :) One suggestion, you should add roaming coverage as well, I live in area where GSM service is provided by Edge Wireless, an AT&T Affiliate, and Edge has EDGE in almost all of their territory (NorCal, SouOre, SE ID and W Wy). Since T-Mobile has no domestic roaming, for voice or data it doesn't really matter who your service comes from.

[brad15]

will be updating the map today, was out of town since sat and just got back last night..

[Railroader]

No prob, sounds like a plan, hope the trip was a good one!

[brad15]

No prob, sounds like a plan, hope the trip was a good one!

thanks! got four days off in a row, so i took a few days to go up north.. a place where my phone does not get signal unless i want it too and it was saying "no service" most of the time (my choice.. lol)

got back, and i wish i would have done some work for school though, ooh well at least i had fun

now.. to everyone.. i plan on doing some enhancements to the map.. working on learning flash right now, so i would like to make an interactive map and post it online.. i am trying to find a nice resolution map for each state so we can have more detailed coverage. If anyone has any detailed maps for any states, please let me know.

the map i have right now is not a great resolution (and JPEG for that matter) so i cannot zoom in enough with photoshop to be exact with it, so for the areas like PA that i have over-estimated i am working on getting it worked out, but it will take a few days, and for CA, the coverage does not seem to show EDGE Wireless coverage (unless off of 105 is all EDGE Wireless). i will be trying to add all of EDGE Wireless coverage.

[Railroader]

Here are the links to Edge's coverage-


Edge Wireless :: Coverage Areas (http://www.edgewireless.com/rates/coverageAreas.html)


and their data coverage


Edge Wireless :: Data Coverage Areas (http://www.edgewireless.com/rates/coverageAreaData.html)

[greenblood]

update:
EDGE: yes on route 86 (from I-81 from PA, when roaming on at&t)
NO coverage at all in zip 14103 and neighbor areas (submitted service request to T-Mobile support)

[PortPowerKS]

Topeka, KS - 100+

[droobie]

No Edge in Bangor ME. Go figure eh?

--Droo, @Network

[Matt]

Droobie. Welcome!

[droobie]

Thanks. Not sure how often I'll end up falling over here but... Here I am. :)

--Droo, @Network

[Stryph]

I can confirm that there's EDGE in the South texas McAllen/Pharr area.. i've benchmarked download speeds up to 144kbps... wish they would move it a little further out west though i'm about 30 miles from the closest edge connection :(

[soccerjohn]

I can also confirm that Wichita, KS 67201 area is using 100+kps of EDGE.

[AbsoluteEvel]

Today I drove from Phoenix to San Diego... Obviously I was not downloading the whole time, but my BlackBerry Pearl does show GSM/GPRS/EDGE indicators. Here are my results...

SR85 from I-10 to Gila Bend, AZ: EDGE
I-8 from Gila Bend, AZ to Yuma, AZ: EDGE
West of Yuma, AZ to East of Holtville, CA: GPRS
Holtville, CA to El Centro, CA: EDGE
West of El Centro, CA to East of Julian, CA exit: GPRS
(Exception is the tower at Golden Acorn Casino which shows EDGE)
Julian, CA exit to San Diego, CA: EDGE

The first 10 miles or so of I-8 from Julian going West shows coverage that keeps switching back and forth between GPRS and EDGE.

[kkh4ever4u]

When are we getting EDGE in Jacksonville Florida :mad:

[SJSMR2]

I am in 95682. Cameron Park California and have solid EDGE coverage.

[Nwahs]

Our Map updater has seemed to have disappeared for the time being so I'll be doing the updates for now...thats a lot of catching up to do! I'll post when it is totally caught up. Thanks for the reporting though....I guess we're going to have to do the same thing again when 3G comes out...or maybe I could just put it over this map. Ah perfect I'll do that.

[SJSMR2]

Yea overlapping the 3G coverage map over the EDGE/GPRS one will be nice. I look forward to it.

[Nwahs]

Aright. I didn't do a great job, but I just put an updated map up. I hope its looking good. :th_salute:

[kinjutsu11]

Just a heads up, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami all have EDGE coverage, average.
WPB - 92kbps
Ft. Lauderdale - 94kbps
Miami - 102kbps

North Palm Beach is sporadic.

Will be in Orlando next week, so i can test while i'm up there!

Added. Thanks :D

[AndrewD]

Port Charlotte florida EDGE

[Nwahs]

Will add later today. Thanks for the report

[kinjutsu11]

Got back from Orlando just recently, had an average of 102kbps with the 3 tests i did. Right by universal baby! I love vacation so much...i want another one....lol

[clock3687]

EDGE in Buffalo, NY (14215) 94K.

EDGE on I-90 in between Buffalo and Syracuse (between 85k-120k).

[lux]

Tulsa, OK - strong EDGE coverage at least in downtown and surrounding areas.

Morrisville, NC and North Raleigh, NC - no T-Mobile coverage at all - spotty GPRS at best.

On Interstate-20 between Dallas, TX and Longview, TX - over 50% EDGE... data coverage lost somewhere near Tyler, TX (note, not in Tyler, just the part of I-20 near Tyler).

[Railroader]

Looking good! Do you plan to add roaming partner (like AT&T Affiliate, Edge Wireless) EDGE coverage on there as well?

[semaj]

Have you guys thought about doing a google map for the coverage map. A lot of sites are using this now where the users can post on their own where they have coverage and you can zoom in a lot more.

Oh and i wondered who are tmobiles roaming contracts with? Do they have any?

They have several, including AT&T in some areas, AT&T Affiliate-Edge Wireless, iWireless, Alltel, etc.

[semaj]

so if you have att roaming the coverage area should be great for the free roaming tmobile has right?

[Nwahs]

so if you have att roaming the coverage area should be great for the free roaming tmobile has right?

I'm not 100% sure of your question. Some places that At&t has service, and T-mobile does (even if its not very good) they don't allow roaming, but if T-mobile does allow roaming in that area you should be good to go.

I'm not quite sure how we could set that up, but I do know its possible because we had one here at one point. I will definitely look into that...it could prove to work really well.
However,
Can't you only put in little pins...you can't highlight sections, correct?

Very true but if there is a large amount of buttons a larger button replaces some of the small ones denoting a large area of coverage. I guess it really depends on how many people you expect to respond and the amount of detail you are looking for. On dslreports we have one for internet speeds and coverage such as what internet proivider you have and the speeds and the type of internet. granite here on tms we are looking at one provider. We could have people post speed reports and where it works at. Just a thought.

All Maps - dslreports.com (http://www.dslreports.com/gmaps)

I was just saying if you dont get coverage where you are at with tmobile you should be able to have coverage with att which would give you greater coverage since they have a pretty big network.

Albany, NY 12203 110k

Springfield, MA 01105 157k

Worcester, MA 115k

[TeeJay3800]

I can confirm there is EDGE service for ZIP code 49006 in Kalamazoo, MI.

The fastest download speed I have recorded is 164 kb/s using speedtest.net.

[greenblood]

since Suncom is T-Mobile now, then Charlotte, NC is counted, 110k I remember
6230 tethered

[L7jr]

I just went to speedtest.net off my of my dash in Brooklyn, NY (11235) and for download I got 94 kb/s and for upload I got 41 kb/s.

It seems quicker than that to me while surfing the internet. Btw, I did this through the opera mini web browser I installed.

[semaj]

how do u do do a speedtest on the new blackberry curve 8320? i have tried all over but nothing works.

[TeeJay3800]

Although I got 164 kb/s directly from my phone's browser, after tethering to my laptop, Speedtest.net reported GPRS speeds for my location (Kalamazoo, MI).

Also, when I'm tethered, Speedtest reports my location as being somewhere in Europe, even though I'm actually in Michigan......whats up with that?

http://www.speedtest.net/result/186978688.png

[brunner]

I'm getting an average of 142Kbps Down and 54Kbps Up using T-Mobile's official T-Zones proxy.

I wish I had found this thread earlier... I was driving all over Atlanta, GA. I feel very confident that it had EDGE too, but I didn't run any speed tests.

[dkb218]

Lower Manhattan - Wall Street Area = 63 kbit/sec:waiting2:

Strange but i've heard mention that some are getting well over a 100 kbit/sec in NYC. Not sure what the problem could be but at most I'm getting 75. I used the proxy while still on total internet and had much better speeds.

Without the proxy, more expensive plan, less speed? Someting not right here Batman!:wallsmack:

[Edward]

I'm in Boston and I do not get EDGE speeds on my Nokia 6101, despite the information stating that the phone is EDGE-capable.

When I run the mobile speed test at Broadband Reports, the results are always between 3 and 7K. :(

You're the first person I've heard say they're getting the same speeds as me. Even though I have a Class 10 EDGE-capable phone, and local T-Mobile reps swear the towers in my city have EDGE, I get about the same speeds as you. Sometimes on the BBR site I'll see speeds in the upper teens, but usually its closer to what you listed.

[Nwahs]

Wow...you guys should try some other phones and see whats going on...if I'm getting over 100 kb/s faster speeds then you, there are problems.

[Albmed1188]

hey guys i dont wanna seem like a noob or anything but how do u test EDGE on ur fone? i live in CT so ill be more than glad to help u guys out..i juss dont know how to test my fone..i have a v360 but i got a W490 on the way so i would like to test it out .. thx = )

[TeeJay3800]

Just go to http://dslreports.com/mspeed from your phone's browser.

Or you can tether your phone to your PC and go to any of the major speed test sites.

[greenblood]

it should have E icon when the phone is online
my 6120, E50 (killed), Z710, W810, K550, K790, W300 have E by the signal meter where EDGE is available

[TeeJay3800]

Thats great if it works, but many phones (like mine unfortunately) do not have any icons for what type of data service you have. Or maybe they do, but T-Mobile for some strange reason blocks that feature. :mad:

[SJSMR2]

My v360 just says GPRS Active when tethered in an EDGE area. I'd have to do a SEEM edit to get the E icon on the screen.

[t-marco]

hey guysi have a question about t-mo network. I always have a unlock device to use with t-mo, for example i used motorola samsung and nokia. I live in las vegas and always when i put my t-mo chip to used with the motorola and samsung, the screen shows cingular (now att) but with nokia it shows T-mobile. I know this because t-mo uses the att red in some places, like vegas.
But now, i am back of my samsung f300, i put my chip in there and now shows T-mobile,. it used to show cingular. is that means that t-mobile is upgrading its own network and having more 1900 spectrum?

any ideas?

[sotto]

179 kb's in Santa Monica, CA using EDGE on my Wing phone.

[Edward]

Wow...you guys should try some other phones and see whats going on...if I'm getting over 100 kb/s faster speeds then you, there are problems.

At home, I am within line-of-sight of two (2) T-Mobile sites, the closest of the two is right across the street from here. As the bird flies, it is about 1/8th of a mile and I can see the tower from my front yard. The other site is one mile away, on top of an apartment building.

Distance from a cell site apparently has no effect.

That is my situation almost exactly. The closest T-Mobile tower is directly across the street from me, with another one roughly 3/4 of a mile away. After talking with several T-Mobile reps at the local retail outlet, they've confirmed that there is some EDGE in Kalamazoo, but it all depends on the tower. I've done speed tests all over the county, and have never seen anything over 20 kb/s. The most frustrating part is that EDGE is common in very other major city in MI, but Kalamazoo seems to be the lone exception. It's become an increasingly angering situation that almost has me looking to other providers that DO have high-speed here. :mad:

It doesnt necessarily mean that t-mo is getting more spectrum...it just means that they finally have full control of the old Cingular 1900mhz network in your area. As a result, they updated the MNC (network name) to say T-Mobile and not Cingular.

[jjj]

Edge coverage is great here in Miami

[crjk17]

You can add St. Joseph, MO and I-29 connecting it to Kansas City. Got 88 kbs driving through last night on my 6133.

Added, thanks for the report. The map is looking great. I think we are going to start one of 3G coverage, I can't wait for those speeds to start being reported.

[browri]

T-Mo has released 3G phones and activated 3G service?!?!?!?! :confused:

[Nwahs]

T-Mo has released 3G phones and activated 3G service?!?!?!?! :confused:


3G phones, no 3G service yet...still waiting for these reports

[browri]

oh alright.......well which phone is 3G capable.........is it being advertised as 3G capable..........or are they being like every other company that doesnt advertise a capability that they dont support.........i dont blame them though.............i mean i wouldnt want to detract from my own image by saying oh well it can do this but i dont support it

It is not being advertised as 3G capable. Many CSRs are not even saying that it is 3G capable. No advertising has been done for the T639 as it was only released in a select market. However, we can expect reports of 3G by primary markets within the year.

Added, thanks for the report. The map is looking great. I think we are going to start one of 3G coverage, I can't wait for those speeds to start being reported.

We might need to make an adjustment to the map. I'm in Maryville right now which is the blob directly north of St. Joe and there is no EDGE :(

What is your Zip code? I will take EDGE in your area off the map

yeah and they have the RAZR2 now and im pretty sure thats 3G capable

Do you mean T-Mobiles RAZR2 V8? Because that one is not a 3G capable handset.

[browri]

the V8s are GSM and the V9s are CDMA right?........cuz the V9s are and i was almost positive the V8s would be too

[Ellen]

Yes, both of these are GSM handsets, but only the V9 is 3G. The V8 supports EDGE only. I have read that the V8's are pretty fast, even when the are using an EDGE connection.

generally yes because the RAZR2 processors are at least double the speed of the V3s

NorCal north of Sacramento and San Francisco is a sad state for T-Mobile data, Verizon has EVDO almost everywhere (and will have it in almost all areas by the end of the year), AT&T and their affiliate, Edge Wireless are starting to expand their HSDPA across the area, yet T-Mobile seems happy to struggle by with GPRS in all but a few places (Redding, Chico, Yuba City, Marysville). I took a trip over to Sacramento and Placerville the other day, and where I had EDGE and or/HSDPA with AT&T and EVDO with Verizon T-Mobile was more often than not only GPRS, T-Mobile needs to think outside of the big city!

Alright, just updated it with no EDGE in your Zip code.

[Detox702]

According to DSLreports.com/mspeed I am getting 1.7Mbps downloads. This is 4 tests over a period of about a half hour. Zip code 84107. Results 1957 kbps, 1745 kbps, 1752 kbps, and 1911 kbps.

[edit] Nevermind. That is on a sidekick, and I guess thats from the servers to the website, not my actualy phone to te website. =\ Does anyone know if Salt Lake is supposed to be EDGE? It would surprise me if it weren't, as it is a top 10 launch city for most mobile services. [/end edit]

[brad15]

i have to apologize about neglecting the map.. I can start updating it again, but if i do not post it back in a day or so, someone needs to email me or PM me.

I put in about 90 hours a week between work and school, so i sometimes forget lol

or if anyone else that has Photoshop would like to take it over, i have the original PS files.

[browri]

hmmm thatounds like a plea for help :D

[brad15]

hmmm thatounds like a plea for help :D

lol no it's not. i am just really forgetful, i seen someone post it on HoFo and remembered it. That's how bad my memory is right now, i have a hard time remembering what's due on what days and what times i have to work. It's a mess right now, and really the only time i have to do any posting or anything is around 4am and the sporadic days off that hardly ever happen :D

[browri]

kudos to you for fitting this into your hectic schedule......your doing us all a great service and thank you so much for doing it this long.......

huzzah.........huzzah.........huzzah :p

From Del Rio, Texas, to Eagle Pass, Texas, No EDGE.

[browri]

you know im looking at this map and im almost positive that there is no EDGE coverage in Reading, PA 19606

[tadlock2699]

I realize North Houston/The Woodlands/Magnolia is already studded in blue on the map, but its a definite that in 77355 we have EDGE.

[Nwahs]

Thanks for the report...hey it is always good to have confirmations.

[A_pheonix_boy]

I get 35 kilobits per second! :D

wooooo!!!!!!!!

no edge... :(

[ciocpa]

120 kbps in 35243 and 35244

[crjk17]

Springfield, MO 65806 just got EDGE but the location I'm in isn't very fast (on a college campus, network load is heavy I'm sure). I average 55-56 kbps. Seems slow I know, it's not GPRS though because I get the EDGE icon on an unlocked Moto. I used to pull 30-35 kbps before.

The V3 would always connect @ 38k-47k

Obvious improvement with EDGE network here around Portland, Oregon.

Alot easier/useful than GC89 aircard I had been using before I sold it.

Grand rapids area:

Solid EDGE coverage downtown (49503)
Spotty EDGE in metro area / by the airport (49512)

I live in Kentwood (somewhat east of GR proper), and it's probably 65% here. Oddly enough, if I travel south to far less populous areas, the coverage is 100%. Spotty coverage in the airport / major industrial district seems like a *huge* oversight, though.

[Nwahs]

K guys, I just updated the map according to all the new info for the past few months from here and around the net. Should be looking pretty accurate. Thanks for all the help, and keep the reports coming!

[danjayh]

I'd definitely like to see the areas that aren't right on top of the Grand Rapids dot as green ... outside of the core of downtown, the EDGE coverage is infuriating for an area of this size. I wouldn't want anybody to be misled :)

[Nwahs]

That look more accurate?

[danjayh]

Close enough. You can't really be *too* precise with a map that size, I just wanted to make sure that it didn't show GR as perfect, because it's not. I do my part and call to complain about it periodically, though :)

[TeeJay3800]

I can confirm there is EDGE in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. ZIP code 49006. I know in other parts of 49006 there is only GPRS, so I want to specify I got these speeds just west of downtown. I tethered to my laptop via Bluetooth and did a speed test on Speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net). My results were a whopping 94 kbit/s down and 25 kbit/s up. Pretty slow for EDGE, but far too fast to be GPRS.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/232672248.png

The weird thing was, speedtest.net said my location was somewhere in Europe and that the closet server to use for the test was in London. I did the test in SW Michigan, so does anyone know why it thinks I'm in Europe?

On my Blackberry 8320, in Bismarck, ND (zip 58503), I just tested at dslreports mobile test and got 628kbps. My phone has been faster here than anywhere I've ever used it. Not very useful as I'll probably never have a need to return to Bismarck.

I get EDGE all thru Huntsville, AL (35805-35816) as well as Madison, AL (35758).

I was in Kansas recently, and with the rare exception of finding a CellularOne coverage area, I never got anything more than GSM from Kansas City all the way to Manhattan. How does TMobile justify even having stores in areas with nothing more than GSM coverage?

For that matter, I notice that the map shows extensive EDGE coverage around the Minneapolis area, yet all I ever got there from the airport out to the eastern edge of Ramsey County was GSM if my phone was on a TMobile network.

Is everyone manually picking some other network (CellularOne, perhaps) in Mpls/StP?

[Nwahs]

I guess the EDGE coverage is kind of void now...would anyone be interested in working on a 3G coverage map? Doesn't T-Mobile already have one on their site though....hmmm, maybe time to Unsticky this thread.
