Coverage at new home
I have had T-Mobile for 5 years and have T-Mobile internet. I bought a retirement home in Texas and plan on using it as a vacation home for a couple years then move there but there is no T-Mobile co...
Looks like coverage there is pretty thin. As far as getting T-Mobile to change their plans to improve the coverage for you, good luck with that. In my experience, they can be totally tone deaf when it comes to customers' requests. My advice is to make plans to port to a new carrier.

Fixing or adding more LTE towers is comparable to someone opening a new business today that repairs CD players.
it would be like them trying to build a new store from scratch..gotta get location, permits for the build, permission from the state and city, odds are roads will end up needing dug up on to route power to said tower..the list goes on..heck when Sprint did their LTE add on that alone took months to do on each tower..and that was just switching from their old system to LTE...what was it..wimax or some weird thing like that that they went with for 5G…
by far not a quick simple task..if you have at least some slight signal they might be able to get a booster but even with that it’ll depend on how much signal they get there to begin with..
