The two largest U.S. carriers account for more than 180 million mobile subscribers. This duo offers far greater coverage area than T-Mobile and since a cellular device is only as good as the network coverage allows, both carriers can command a price premium for their services. On the other hand, where T-Mobile does have coverage, it offers comparable or better service. With its rollout of a 21 Mbps HSPA+ this year, T-Mobile typically offers faster mobile broadband speeds than either Verizon or AT&T currently provide, although few handsets can take full advantage of such speeds. Of course, the competitors are stepping it up: Verizon is launching LTE service in over 38 markets this year, and in 2011, AT&T will start offering its own LTE service. [...]

Until then, the best they can offer will be some variant or other of HSPA+ technology. From the looks of it, it won’t even match the speed of T-Mobile’s new network. (They introduced three devices today, all USB cards for laptops.) [...]
