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

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. 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.



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?

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.
