T-Mobile plans to increase theoretical peak speeds of its HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access) to 42M bps in 2011, according to an Aug. 31 statement from Neville Ray, the company’s chief network officer. Currently, the carrier offers “theoretical” peak speeds of 21M bps.
HSPA+ will allow Android phones to reach 4G speeds at downloads up to three times faster than 3G, the company has said.
T-Mobile also reported that it will expand the HSPA+ network to 100 million customers in the United States and nine additional cities, including Boston, San Diego, Miami, Topeka, Kan., and Spokane, Wash.
The carrier also plans to reach 200 million people later this year, according to Ray.
