Yea. Maybe. But Tmobile is cheap. They use AT&T for roaming. And with full signal strength using there towers you can only text. No speed for anything else. Here's a thought. After 3 years of this. Either quit selling false info on being the best in these areas where you don't have enough towers to cover. Or instead of using a ban with that is for distance. Use one for strength. 

There’s thousands more to it than you think there is.

AT&T uses Verizon AND T-Mobile for roaming in certain parts of the country as well.  Verizon too.

Towers placement has a lot more than T-Mobile going hey we should put a tower here.  You have to buy/lease the spectrum in that area, you'd need neighborhood boards approval.  A spot where someone is willing to sell or lease you property to place it.  You also need state/city approval as well to ensure it doesn't cause problems with communications.

The small the band the less data can travel through it.  mmWave for example are tightly compact and can large amounts of data can travel with it.  

There's a lot to it than this, but it's just some of the basic stuff involved.  Your neighbors could be stopping towers being put up for example.  Keep that in mind.
