Anyone fed-up with horrible coverage from TMobile
This is a Description of our Complaint with T-Mobile and the BBB: For the past almost 3 years we have had all of our family cell phone lines with T-Mobile. We switched over from Verizon about 3 year...
Verizon's service is a little different than what T-Mobile has deployed, but some of the logic is still the same. Where T-Mobile had 2G/3G, they have 4GLTE / 5G. T-Mobile's 2G was 1900MHz only and primarily limited in range by timing. 4G LTE/5G limits are more on signal quality. Signal quality on 4GLTE / 5G use higher order modulation (i.e. trying to squeeze more data out of a signal requires clean signal) I have had 4G LTE at +15 miles. The one benefit that makes up for this is that T-Mobile 4G LTE/5G runs at 600MHz/700MHz in addition to 1900MHz and above. Lower frequencies are beneficial for longer range. Verizon ran 1X CDMA, at 850MHz (low band) which gave probably the best range you could get. Like 2G GSM on T-Mobile, capacity was limited (CDMA was still better in this regard).
Call your state or federal rep / FCC to get service fixed/updated if T-Mobile won’t do what is required.
