Earlier today, we told you that T-Mobile was beginning a new advertising push for their HSPA+ (4G) service, and AT&T has a beef with some of the numbers T-Mobile used about AT&T's similar service.
According to AT&T, T-Mobile misrepresented AT&T's 4G speeds, and in an email to PhoneScoop said the following:
“T-Mobile's claims about 4G are based on the same HSPA+ technology we have deployed to 180 million people today, more than T-Mobile’s reported 140 million, and we’ll have it rolled out to 250 million people by the end of this month, substantially more than the 200 million T-Mobile says it will have by year-end.”
AT&T also took issue with T-Mobile's claims that AT&T's HPSA+ network is limited to download speeds of 14.4Mbps. They maintain that their network can support speeds of up to 21Mbps, although none of their handhelds achieve anything close to this speed, although they do have a laptop dongle that can hit this 21Mbps mark.
We knew there was going to be some bad blood here, so for now we will have to await T-Mobile's official response to AT&T.

Highly challenging cheers, I do think your readers would possibly want even more articles of this nature carry on the excellent work.
WELL DUH! T-mobile America runs almost entirely off of the AT&T network. T-mobile is in turn LIMITED to what AT&T has (if AT&T doesn’t limit them further) When t-mobile claims higher spec’s than AT&T has, without buying into another provider with higher spec’s, then obviously, they are lying…
