U.S. GSM Carrier T-Mobile announced today 8 new markets that can take advantage of their super speedy HSPA+ network. Detroit, Michigan Grand Junction, Colorado Harlingen, Texas Lafayette and South Bend, Indiana Montgomery, Alabama Roanoke-Lynchburg, Virginia Youngstown, Ohio Living in a small town myself, it’s nice to see cities such as South Bend, Indiana make the cut before quite a few other, much larger cities.
