June Pixel security update delayed
Guess Tmobile is behind again with the June update for the Pixel 7 and below. Seems we went around with this before with January update. Guess we waited 10 days to get updated, sure if they would post a reason along with time frame for the update.
Guess Google is going to have to make a special update for T- Mobile like last time or T-Mobile is going to have to change things to be compatible with Google. Either way someone needs to change things up T-Mobile.

T-Mobile isn't going to do a thing. Think about it. Make potential major changes which will affect every device just for a single device update, or Google making the changes to make it not break on a network. Google has done it last time. They've also done it quite a few times for Verizon as well as other country networks. Other OEMs do the same for every region. Better to catch it now than later.

I'm afraid that's not a valid analogy. Wireless communications is extremely complex, both on the carrier side and on the device side.
Devices (esp. modems) are not perfect, and carriers have to make allowances for device imperfections.
Carriers (esp. T-Mo) have the challenge of juggling standards and frequencies, and refarming spectrum, so devices have to make allowances for carrier imperfections.
Hence it's quite possible that it's more practical for Google to patch its device to be compatible with T-Mobile than vice versa.
Regardless, my Pixel 6a is still happily on the May update, and I'm quite content to wait until the June update is rolled out. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I can say this update makes me have worse reception.
I sideloaded it yesterday and am not seeing this slowdown. Running great for over 24 hours. Unlocked P7a bought from Google, using T-mobile network.
I'm content to wait but not so happy with my modem as sometimes my calls will not go through and have to dial more than one time, very frustrating.
This is around the time I sign up for the developers program and download Android 14 beta.
It's an option if you don't mind some bugs. Usually around the end of June it's a little more stable.

Yes, Pixel does have some annoying calling problems, but I found that restarting the phone weekly largely eliminates them. You might want to give that a try.
If you turn off your T-Mobile SIM card and check for the update it will push through. But I'm not going to install it If there's a problem. Last thing I want is a buggy phone!
