Has ping / tracert been blocked on 5g network?

So I will not argue that the blocking of ICMP is not a problem but to me it portends much larger problems for users. If the trend of cell deployment with overloading and ignoring the rapid decline of content delivery on overloaded cells continues it puts out a very bad message. It becomes about revenue at any cost. If customers are not satisfied they can just go pay more to another ISP and someone else will come take that spot on the network. If the revenue continues to grow that is the bottom line. I could list the warts with content delivery but I am sure some would say that is over exaggerated but the reality is the more bandwidth is throttled, the more ports are blocked, the more applications that fail to function all lead to a lack of customer satisfaction and loyalty. If T-Mobile or any service provider wants to grow a business and maintain integrity they need to treat customers with respect and make an honest effort to do so. I understand cellular internet delivery is expensive and complicated but if it is an important part of the business growth then do it right. 

I took the time to write a thank you direct to Matthew Keys at thedesk.net after reading the prior post. Yes, it may be a futile gesture but journalists need to know people appreciate their efforts. Just like a note to say thank your for your article yada yada the "likes" on the community forum for the good and bad are necessary. We don't need to be critical and nasty but sharing the honest truth that there are warts on the system is important to keep the powers that be honest.
