On Tuesday, March 26, T-Mobile will flip the switch on its LTE network in seven cities across the US. See the list here.

It took them forever (plus a botched sale attempt to AT&T), but the fine folks at T-Mobile are finally ready to light up their Long Term Evolution network. The grand opening will happen on March 26, and we’ll be accompanied by the official launch of T-Mobile’s new Uncarrier branding and new unsubsidized plans.

While the details of the Uncarrier campaign have been thoroughly leaked already, we didn’t know until now the markets where T-Mobile will first roll out its 4G LTE network. Today, that final mystery has been dispelled, thanks to a report from the guys at TMoNews that lists the seven cities that will get T-Mobile LTE on March 26:

Las Vegas, NV
Phoenix, AZ
San Jose, CA
Houston, TX
Washington, DC
Kansas City, MO
Baltimore, MD

If you own a Galaxy Note 2 from T-Mo or if you brought your own LTE device to the network, you’ll get to experience high-speed wireless speeds without lifting a finger. Another way to get in is to wait for the launch of the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One, two great LTE handsets slated for release in late April.

We’ve had clues about some of the markets in this list (Las Vegas for instance, since CES in January), but confirmation is always welcomed. Now, all we have to do is wait till Tuesday for the official details.

I cannot wait to see this implemented but I think it will be a while before anyone actually uses it. In the UK we just got 4G LTE recently!

  ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT APPLE RIGHT? IS THE ONLY ROTTEN COMPANY YOU CAN POINT. SOME COMPANIES CREATE THINGS LIKE THIS, AND ANOTHER ONES ONLY JUST TRY TO GET THEIR NAME ON THEM. MEEEHHH. :)

Yes my current only about 300Mbps download is way too slow, I TOTALLY need 1Gbps

  Yeah that kind of mentality goes against progression. Remember what Bill Gates said? We dont need more than 128kb ram…
  - MasterMuffin
    
    I’d like different kind of progression: 4G everywhere with steady at least 100mbps signal all the time

      You have to understand Samsung is based in South Korea, where you pretty much get WiFi or 4G speeds everywhere on your mobile devices. They don’t even put passwords on WiFi because it’s that cheap. 5G is their way of progression.

About damn time we get *ACTUAL* 4G speeds. Make no mistake kiddies (including the author), the actual “4G” specification standard requires 1 gigabit/second in low mobility scenarios and 100megabit/second in high mobility scenarios.

“4G LTE” isn’t actually “4G”, hence the “LTE” moniker that is required everywhere for the 3G-ish tech.

1Gbps is awesomely fast, but can you imagine the size of the battery that would be required to push that signal? I’m having flashbacks of my old motorola bagphone from 1990.

Perhaps by 2020 we will have miniaturized cold fusion reactors in our phones.

  or probably phone will no longer need battery by then.
  they will suck blood from its user to operate..
  :D

Nice work from Samsung! But I won’t be moving away from 3G to 4G or 100G unless they get rid of ridiculous data limits.

I hope they patent this and keep Apple from getting a hold of this technology !

Oh Wow I have my amazing 5G network now i can use all my 200 Mb/day in just 5 seconds! Yay! (A critique to the Italian mobile companies)
