One person's trash is another person's treasure.  I have no complaints with my service in coastal Virginia and I frequently travel to Philly, Charlotte, Altlanta, Huntsville, and up to Canada regularly.  When out in rural southern West Virginia where there are tons of places that have no service with any carrier.  Where there is T-Mobile service,t he se3rvice is surprisingly decent.   

It's all about location.

Well I've been ALL over central FL, and the same problem! My parents have tmobile, same thing, and they have the home internet.. All the same!

Central FL was not good IMHO (see my review on FL).  From Ocala NF to Alligator Alley, service in the interior isn't 'currently' as good as others (I only had AT&T for comparison).  Other locations were good, especially urban.  Ocala itself was fine.

My house is around 2Gbits but where I work is around 300Mbits.  It boils down to congestion, tower speed, and a slew of other factors.  Always go with what carrier delivers what you need in your area.  I know some carriers can be more expensive than others, but at least you get the service you need.

Well then I guess they shouldn't legally be able to sell there service in FL! My parents are old now, I just hope 1 day they don't have a medical emergency, and can't even call to get help! Phone service is hit and miss at best also!

Calling 911 is completely different.  Even with no SIM in the device, a call to 911 will go through.  Service in and around Orlando to Melbourne and over to St. Petersburg was amazing the last time I was down there.  I have friends in the Miami area that have no issues with their T-Mobile service.

Read any carriers terms and conditions and you will see they don't guarantee service.

Well I live here! And I'm not gonna call 911 to see if it works! There alot of times it won't even dial out, so I doubt it'll make the call during those times!

911 calls are treated differently.  It will connect to any network, including emergency networks to complete the call.

Your signal strength is also impacted by your mobile phone.  I have the latest iPhone 14 Pro and where T-Mobile has coverage it works very well, but there are dead spots where it doesn't matter which phone you have.  Many people have older phones, more than two years old, and many of these phones do not support all of the newer bands that T-Mobile implemented after the merger with Sprint.

My Speed Check doesn't have ads. Also mine is from a finished check not a screen shot during the test. Check the finished test to see how it shows.
