Is MetroPCS's LTE network up to par?

MetroPCS has had LTE services available in a small number of markets. It’s clear that they’re using these initial markets as trial runs, since they’re not yet in place for the company’s biggest markets. As Kevin Tofel of GigaOm reports, it’s acting just in that manner. The speeds aren’t quite up to snuff yet, but that’s not the biggest issue for MetroPCS. The company doesn’t provide 3G speeds, so the LTE is a certain upgrade. But for those of us who want the true LTE experience, we’re better waiting for either the MetroPCS network to get better, or else another company to launch a network.]]>
