Earlier this week T-Mobile*announced the Rocket 3.0, a new USB data stick built by ZTE that’s capable of running on T-Mobile’s new upgraded 42Mbps HSPA+ 4G network. As our luck would have it, the friendly FedEx guy just dropped off the Rocket 3.0. T-Mobile’s newly upgraded 42Mbps network is only available in 55 markets, most of them in California or in the south, so we didn’t get anywhere close to seeing those zippy speeds. Instead, we averaged 1.17Mbps on the downlink, and 1.07Mbps on the uplink. That’s slow, and in New York City that throughput is a far cry from what we get with Verizon’s 4G LTE network
