End of 2G
2 TopicsT-MOBILE: KEEP THE 2G NETWORK UP INDEFINITELY
Hello T-MOBILE, As your customer and provider of revenue, - and on behalf of most of Gen Z and the Elderly - we say DO NOT SHUT 2G DOWN. KEEP IT UP. WE WILL PAY TO BE ON 2G. Reason we want it up is Forfreedom to downgrade to a simpler phone with ease, The 2G network - due to its simplicity - is far more reliable than 4g and especially 5g; 5g being top-heavy Gen Z (me) and most people like simple things, and since these devices still work, why wouldwe keep blowing cash on new phones? When we're saving for houses? Finally, We like RAZRs, (not the new one, that's highway robbery) This brings me to a personal note:5g is ridiculously superfluous. No one really asked for it, and that's the truth. We know that many among the billionaire class and the Business Class desire to sell 5g, and they are using blogs, reports, studies, and every other form of persuasive propaganda to sell the "demand" for 5g, but ITS NOT THERE. WE DO NOT WANT IT. There's such a thing as "Over-Engineering", and this is a prime example. Gen Z and the public in general simply want affordable, reliable devices, and relationship with people. All your 5g revolution will do is destroy what we need and love, and destabilize the network infrastructure. Think about it: when 4g and 3g went down, what worked? 2g/1x; can't deny it works. And… "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." - Every Boomer744Visto1like2ComentariosPortugal's MEO carrier shutting down 3G and limiting 2G to non-internet by the end of 2023.
No announcement on its impact from T-Mobile AFAIK. Very bad for older 2G/3G only visitors. https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2023-09-04/3g-being-turned-off-in-portugal-from-today/81054224Visto0likes2Comentarios
